I joined Northumbria University in September 2010 and to date I have completed my undergrad in Mass Communications & Business and have obtained a first class grade in my dissertation. I was named as one of the outstanding students of 2010/11 and was awarded a good amount of scholarship for my postgrad. I had an amazing year during my top up course and what fascinated me the most was the learning process. Currently I am doing my postgrad in Media Cultures and representing the International students of my school. Being an International Student Rep, I am obliged to interact with International students to solve any issues they face, get feedback and bring in improvements to make learning a better experience for myself and for the students of my school.  In addition, I have also been appointed as the Postgraduate Taught School Representative for the School of Arts and Social Sciences. My responsibility is to improve the experience of students across my School. I assist the smooth running of the Course Rep system, and act as a channel of communication between Course Reps in my School, the Students’ Union, my School’s management team and the University. What I like the most about Northumbria are the faculty members; they are friends, when you need help, mentors when you need guidance and the most knowledgeable people when you want to learn. If I were to describe my experience of Northumbria University  in three words, I would say it's inspiring, exciting and life-changing.
