Affordable Excellence
Passionate about robotics, I won a national competition in junior high and chose UWE Bristol for its renowned Bristol Robotics Laboratory. Overcoming challenges in adapting to the UK, I engaged in diverse activities, joined the Indonesian Students Association, and navigated the shift to online learning during the pandemic. Now in my fourth year, I'm working on a robotics project focusing on machine vision for quality control in banana crop harvesting, aiming to pioneer agricultural robotics in Indonesia.

GREAT Scholarships 2024
In partnership with the British Council and the GREAT Britain Campaign, one scholarship is on offer for students with nationality of Bangladesh, China, and India applying for science and technology postgraduate courses.
My journey in event management began in school, evolved through high school leadership roles, and led to a master's in Event Management at UWE Bristol. With a background in communication arts, diverse internship experiences, and two years in an international event organization, I now thrive in the culturally rich environment of Bristol, where I am pursuing my passion for live events, building connections, and envisioning a future as a university professor specializing in event creation and management.

MSc Event Management
After initially considering culinary arts, I pursued nursing, earning a scholarship in Malaysia, and later joined UWE Bristol for my nursing degree. Navigating challenges during the pandemic, I found a supportive community in Bristol, excelled in placements within the NHS, and embraced the practical aspects of nursing. Empathy and effective communication have been crucial in connecting with patients. I look forward to graduating and contemplating the potential of working in the UK for a while.
Li Xin Chu
BSc (Hons) Nursing (Adult)
Initially shy but determined, I embraced studying abroad at Ho Chi Minh City International University and UWE Bristol, pursuing Business and Event Management. Overcoming language barriers and adapting to the weather, I thrived through catering events, part-time work, and volunteering, fostering a diverse network. A UWE scholarship supported my master's in human resources, aligning with my career aspirations to work in HR for major multinational companies in Vietnam and leverage UK experience for personal and professional growth.
