“Being awarded with one of most prestigious scholarships at the University of Nottingham is one of the greatest achievements I ever had in my entire life. Based on my interests, the University of Nottingham offers the best-funded research for a PhD program. The interdisciplinary nature at the University of Nottingham stems from the diverse backgrounds of its researchers, the faculty and its students. In turn, this enables the program to span the spectrum of cutting-edge applied and theoretical research. This PhD program will improve my problem-solving skills and guide me towards my goal in research – to apply advanced methods contributing towards the construction and development of Pakistan. Further, I would have greater exposure to other cultures, as well as gaining knowledge of advanced practices to value-add myself to be a more holistic civil engineer.”
Nguyen from Vietnam — Vice Chancellor’s Scholarship for Research Excellence
“It has been such a great honour for me to be awarded the Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship For Research Excellence to undertake the PhD programme at the Business School, University of Nottingham. I chose to study at the University because it has a global reputation for academic excellence, pioneering research and employability. The Nottingham University Business School is also home to a number of leading research centres and institutes offering a vibrant and collaborative community that brings together doctoral research students and staff with interests and expertise in distinct fields. To be part of these extensive networks and community connections is certainly a great advantage for me and my interdisciplinary research project.
The University of Nottingham has a lot to offer. For me, the best thing is that it has a large and diverse student cohort with loads of societies, clubs and activities. Hence, I find it easy to fit in. I have made great friends from doing voluntary work as a hall tutor, joining NUBS Doctoral Society, playing volleyball or having postgraduate placements.
I am very grateful for the recognition and support from the University of Nottingham and the Vice-Chancellor for allowing me to have the Scholarship For Research Excellence. With this award, I am able to dedicate myself to the doctorate programme and I will do my best to deliver outstanding results for the university and the community.”
