“I have always wanted to study Environmental Science and UON offered me the chance to choose the perfect combination of modules. Another reason was its good location in relation to other bigger cities and the variety of support offered to international students, from financial to academic and personal support.

Receiving a scholarship has been a great help as it took a bit of the financial burden off my shoulders and it helped me focus more on studying. I believe this is a great opportunity for European students, especially since not a lot of universities offer this kind of benefit.” – Sorina-Mihaela Sulitau, BSc (Hons) Environmental Science.
