Are you thinking of studying England or do you often hear experiences of acquaintances and friends who study there? We spoke with a student who is studying in England and specifically in Derby.
Dimos Georgiadis is studying law at University of Derby . He is also the president of the Hellenic and Cypriot Society of Derby which aims to bring together all Greek and Cypriot students studying in Derby.
Let’s see what he told us about his life and studies there:
Hello Municipality. First you want to tell us the reasons that led you to go to study in England? Why didn’t you stay in Cyprus to study?
First of all, I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my views on student life in England. One of the main reasons that led me to study in England is the high level of English universities , as well as the future opportunities that English universities offer to Cypriot students.
Cypriot students studying at universities in England have the opportunity to claim future vocational rehabilitation in Cyprus and in the United Kingdom.
Finally, another important factor is language . Unfortunately or fortunately nowadays, most jobs in the world are based on the English language, which gives students who have studied in the UK an advantage over those who have studied in Cyprus.
Why specifically in the city of Derby ? What’s special about it?
My main criterion when choosing a university was to choose a good university in a city where I would feel safe , would have a good student life but at the same time natural beauty . I decided to stay away from the hustle and bustle of a big city.
Derby is a city in the center of England which attracts tourists because of its natural beauty. The wonderful parks in Derby are something special that can make you escape from the daily routine and stress of the University.
Also in Derbyshire is the famous Peak District Park which is considered one of the most spectacular places in England.
Did any training consultant help you in your final choice? How important was his help in your final decision?
Due to the fact that there are many separate universities in England, I believe that every prospective student needs help from experts in the field. Like most students in England, I too had decided that only through a professional education consultant could I make the right decision for my future. So my first choice was Global Educational Services. I can say that I was completely satisfied, as they gave me the opportunity to properly compare my choices and make the final decision about my studies.
Due to their experience and the fact that they work with several universities in England, they gave me the important information that a student needs to make the right decision in important matters, such as the field to follow or which university to go to study.
If you could go back in time, would you make the same choice or change something? Why?
I believe that my choice to go to Derby was exactly what I was looking for as it meets all the criteria I had set before making my decision. I would not change my choice, since apart from being a quiet and friendly place, it is also very close to other famous and beautiful cities, such as Birmingham and Nottingham .
How do you find student life in England? What are its pros / cons?
Student life in England is an experience that is definitely worth living for a young student. Through student life in a foreign country, you are given the opportunity to meet young people from different parts of the world, as well as to get to know the culture and the way their life .
Another advantage of student life in England is that you become independent of your family and have to learn how to take care of yourself.
Of course there are also the negatives of student life in England, such as the life that is more expensive and the climate of England, cannot be compared to that of Cyprus.
