My first taxi wahala experience in the UK was definitely a cultural shock! 😅

I had been avoiding taxis, sticking to buses and my legs like a true champion.

But when I finally got my accommodation, I had to move my stuff from the university hostel to my new place. So, I ordered a taxi.

The app estimated the fare at £10, and I thought, “Okay, I can endure this. Not like I had a choice.”© Lisa Agu

Halfway through the journey, I remembered I left a bag at the hostel reception.

I panicked and shouted, “I forgot my bag!” The Scottish driver, totally chill, says, “That’s no bother, I’ll drive back and we’ll pick it up. Relax your mind.”© Lisa Agu

Now, in Nigeria, if anyone says something like that, you know they’re offering to help, right? 🤣 Well, without thinking twice, I accepted his kind offer.

Fast forward to the destination, and guess what? The fare was £23! 😱 No one should ask me how I managed to pay.

Chai, cultural difference will humble you! 😂 © Lisa Agu

Moral of the story: Never assume anything abroad. Always ask for clear terms before agreeing to anything!

We can all win together ❤️.

How to Write to Supervisor for a Master’s in Research/PhD Program Abroad

You’ve decided to take the plunge and pursue a Master’s or PhD abroad. One of the most important steps in this process is reaching out to potential supervisors. But how do you ensure that your email stands out among the hundreds they receive daily?

I’m going to give you the inside scoop on how to write a successful and catchy email to potential supervisors, and trust me, there are some hidden tips that can make all the difference. © Lisa Agu

1. Craft a Clear and Specific Subject Line

Don’t be generic with your subject line! Something like “Master’s/PhD Inquiry” won’t cut it.

Be specific and mention what you are applying for. A subject line like “PhD Applicant in Environmental Science – Research Interests in Climate Change Adaptation” immediately gives context.

2. Personalize the Email – Show You’ve Done Your Homework

Start your email by showing you’ve done your research on the supervisor and their work. Mention their recent research papers or specific aspects of their work that resonate with you. Supervisors are more likely to respond when they see that you’re genuinely interested in their field, not just mass-emailing everyone in the department. © Lisa Agu

For example:
“I recently read your paper on the impacts of urban heat islands in the journal Nature Climate Change and was particularly intrigued by your approach to modeling microclimates…”

This will show that you are not only familiar with their work but that you’re actively engaging with it.

3. Introduce Yourself Briefly, but Powerfully

Keep your introduction concise but powerful. Mention your current academic background and your specific research interests. Don’t just say “I want to study…” Instead, highlight how your academic journey has led to this interest. © Lisa Agu

“I am a final-year student in Environmental Science at XYZ University, and my undergraduate research on sustainable cities has sparked a deep interest in urban climate adaptation.”

4. Explain Why You’re Reaching Out Specifically to Them

This is where you reveal that you’re not just applying anywhere, you’re interested in them because of their expertise and the alignment of their research with yours.
“I am particularly interested in your work on urban resilience, as my recent research project on green roofs aligns closely with your ongoing studies in climate change mitigation.”© Lisa Agu

5. Highlight What You Bring to the Table

What sets you apart from other applicants? Why are you a good fit for their research team? Don’t just say “I’m passionate.” Give evidence!

“I have experience in GIS analysis from my internship with ABC NGO, where I worked on mapping vulnerable areas affected by flooding. I believe this skill could complement your research on flood management in urban areas.”

6. Be Clear About What You’re Asking

Are you looking for a PhD position? Are you requesting to work on a specific research project? Be clear and precise about your goals.

“I would like to inquire about any available PhD opportunities in your department starting in Fall 2025.”© Lisa Agu

7. Express Enthusiasm, but Keep it Professional

While you want to show excitement, remember to keep the tone professional. You’re writing to a potential supervisor, not a friend. Show your passion, but be respectful of their time.

“I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss how my background could contribute to your ongoing research.”

8. Don’t Forget the Basics: Be Polite and Professional

Your email should be polite and well-structured, with no grammatical errors. A supervisor wants to see that you can communicate professionally and clearly. Avoid informal language and slang. © Lisa Agu

“Thank you for considering my application. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss further how my research interests align with your work. I look forward to hearing from you.”

9. Sign Off Like a Pro

Your sign-off should also reflect professionalism. Use a polite and formal closing such as “Best regards” or “Sincerely,” followed by your full name, contact information, and LinkedIn profile (if applicable).

“Best regards,
[Your Full Name]
[Your Contact Info]
[Your LinkedIn Profile or Portfolio Link]”

10. Follow Up After a Week or Two

Supervisors are busy, so if you don’t hear back after a week or two, don’t hesitate to follow up. Keep your follow-up email short and polite, reminding them of your initial email and reiterating your interest in working with them. © Lisa Agu

If you’re applying for a PhD, i suggest that you include a brief statement of your research plan or project idea (a 2-3 sentence pitch) can show initiative. However, don’t overdo it keep it brief and compelling. Supervisors want to see you have ideas, but they also want room to guide your research direction.

If you carefully read this and implement it, you’ll be setting yourself up for success in your application process. © Lisa Agu

Reaching out to potential supervisors isn’t just about sending an email; it’s about making a connection, showing your value, and making it clear that you’ve done your research.

Your email should reflect you, your passion, your skills, and your potential to contribute meaningfully to their research.

If Hunger alone is your only reason or motivation for relocation, That hunger might just be your destiny helper in disguise!

Hunger doesn’t mean you’re desperate. It means you know you deserve better and you’re not afraid to go after it. © Lisa Agu

Not everyone abroad came with a detailed vision board. Some left because they were tired of spending 20k on fuel, in one week.

So if hunger is your only motivation to move abroad, don’t let anyone shame you. Use it. Let it fuel your fire. Turn that belly-rumble into a relocation story.

You’d be surprised how many success stories started with nothing but an empty wallet and a full heart. © Lisa Agu

That hunger you feel? It might just be the beginning of your testimony.

Let me tell you the truth they won’t scream loud enough…

You can have the best grades, the perfect CV, even the right visa route, charity visa, skilled worker visa, or that juicy fully funded research master’s but if your SOP/LOE (Statement of Purpose or Letter of Expression) isn’t solid, you could still miss it.

Yes! I said it. © Lisa Agu

I’ve seen people with ordinary qualifications secure unbelievable opportunities just because they knew how to write their story well. And I’ve also seen brilliant candidates get rejected because they couldn’t articulate why they deserved a spot.

Your SOP/LOE is more than a formality, it’s your voice in rooms you haven’t entered yet. It’s how you prove you’re not just qualified, but chosen. © Lisa Agu

So if you’re planning to relocate through:

A Charity Work Visa (yes, the one you can bring dependants with),
A Skilled Worker Visa (for those ready to bag that dream job),
Or a Fully Funded Scholarship or Research Master’s (Canada and UK, I’m looking at you), © Lisa Agu

Then please, treat your SOP/LOE like your life depends on it, because your relocation plan might just be sitting in those 500-1000 words.

Tell your story with clarity. Show your passion. Highlight your goals. And most importantly… make it unforgettable.

Write it well. Polish it better. And send it with boldness.

We can all win together ❤️.
