About 30 students from the Pre U 2 classes of Sekolah Menegah Sayyidina Ali attended a briefing facilitated by two representatives from the University of Warwick. Mavis Ow, a senior liaison Manager and Dr Neil Storrey, the director of International recruitment came to inform interested students about the advantages of studying in their academic institution. Dr Neil explained that students who were contemplating of going to top universities should consider Warwick as one of their top choices as the university offers courses most desirable for the students here. In fact, he said that Warwick University is the second most targeted by graduate employers for graduate recruitment programmes in the UK. Therefore, getting a degree in Warwick is considered as a substantial credential as Warwick is ranked top ten in the UK, he claimed.
In his briefing, he also mentioned that the university also provides courses which are ranked within the top ten in the national league tables. The subjects include Accounting and finance, Chemistry, computer Science, engineering, Law, Physincs, English, Mathematics, Politics, Business studies, communication and media studies, Sociology, Drama and many others. Established in 1965, the University of Warwick has more than 22,000 students, a third of whom are overseas students.
The talk ended with a question and answer sessions whereby students inquired mainly of the entry requirements to get to the University. When asked if they offer scholarships for international students, Mavis Ow explained that though they are not offering scholarships for undergraduate students, the university does offer scholarships for postgraduate students, especially those who are interested in doing their pHd.
The talk was part of the Pre U Careers and Higher Learning department's annual activity, headed by Dyg Ummi Kalsum Hj Omar, in its effort to inform students of their choices of courses and careers they can pursue after their two-year A level course as well as to encourage and motivate them to do well in their A levels exam.
