Nikita’s academic journey so far

Nikita completed her Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology from Banasthali Vidyapith University in July 2020. Soon after finishing her graduation, she resolved to pursue her higher education abroad. Unfortunately, the world witnessed a global lockdown due to the COVID-19 crisis that forced many students, including Nikita, to put their study abroad plans on hold. But the pandemic did not shake Nikita’s determination as she zealously started her entrance exam preparation to be ready to embark on her study abroad journey once the pandemic ended. 

Her reason to study in the UK

Initially, Nikita had shortlisted Germany to pursue her higher studies as she had completed a level one German course from her university. However, she later decided to opt for a course from English speaking countries as it will open a new window of opportunities post completion of her course. She began to prepare for IELTS and got the results in September. After successfully clearing the entrance exam, she began researching universities to study abroad. Although studying abroad seemed like an arduous task due to the unprecedented health crisis, she persisted. Eventually, her perseverance paid off as the UK opened its borders to welcome international students. 

Nikita passionately proceeded with her next set of plans as her friend studying in the UK further confirmed that the UK had opened the borders for study abroad students. She shortlisted the educational institutions based on study programs, their respective tuition fees, the cost of living and other relevant parameters. She selected a few varsities that met her requirement and initiated the application process. Finally, her hard work and patience won her 3 to 4 offer letters. She chose Master’s in International Management from Regent College as it is a 1-year course that suits her plan.
