๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฉโžก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Meet Firoza from Bangladesh and hear about her journey to the RHUL International Study Centre.

Before moving to the UK, Firoza was worried about leaving home. She thought she might feel lonely, without friends or anyone to support her. Instead, she found a welcoming community that helped her settle in and feel at home from the moment she arrived.

Her ambition to study finance started when she was just 14 years old. Inspired by her father's business, she wants to gain the skills to help grow future businesses of her own, support other companies, and even contribute to strengthening the economy.

Watch Firoza share how the support she received gave her the confidence to pursue her goals.

๐ŸŽ“โœจ Meet Firoza from Bangladesh and discover her academic journey at Royal Holloway International Study Centre.

For Firoza, the International Foundation Year provided a strong grounding in business, economics, and mathematics, giving her the confidence to progress to university study.

๐Ÿ’™ What she loves most about being an international student at Royal Holloway? The sense of belonging.
"It makes you feel like a family. You feel like you belong here."

Transitioning straight to a university degree without A-levels can feel overwhelming, but the ISC helped Firoza build her knowledge from the ground up and prepare for academic success.

๐Ÿ“š Support goes beyond the classroom. From dedicated teachers to the wellbeing team, students can always find help with accommodation, jobs, and any questions they may have.

โœจ Meet Yoon, a Royal Holloway ISC alumna & RHISC Excellence Scholarship recipient, who turned her fascination with electronics into a future in electronic engineering ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ’™

Growing up watching her electronic engineer father taking broken things apart and fixing them, Yoon felt her heart lay in the field of STEM even after gaining a degree and experience in HR. Hence, she decided to follow her passion and pursue her dream of studying in the UK. The International Foundation Year at Royal Holloway gave her the confidence, STEM academic foundation, and support she needed to thrive at the university.

Her academic excellence, attendance and extracurricular activities during the foundation course led to her being awarded the Royal Holloway International Study Centre (RHISC) Excellence Scholarship, a ยฃ3,000 award towards her first-year tuition fees.

Today, Yoon is studying MEng Electronic Engineering and hopes to one day develop machines and robots that can help people and animals during environmental crises.

Beyond academics, the Foundation Year helped her settle into life in the UK, build lasting friendships with fellow international students, and find a community that made her feel at home.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œAll the students on the IFY are international, so we all understood what it was like - moving countries, feeling alone and not speaking your first language. We spent a lot of time together and the teachers, staff and counsellors were all really supportive. I had so much fun living in Founders Building student accommodation for my foundation year.โ€

๐ŸŒ For Yoon, the International Foundation Year was more than a pathway to university, it was the beginning of a journey towards the future she had always dreamed of.
