International Security and Global Governance MSc


BIRKBECK, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON
Overall Rating

As an international student coming from the United States, I found the enrolment process quite difficult at times very stressful. The communication process was difficult over the telephone and the email process sometimes took up to ten days to receive a response. This proved stressful as most requirements for international travel were time sensitive. The most disappointing situation was after I received my student VISA, I was told the master's program I was registered to, was discontinued due to low student enrolment. This was just days away from my flight to London and I had to change to a different master's program or loose my student VISA and forfeit all financial aid. I was only offered some help from the program director of the Environment and Sustainability program. I feel like the department of international students be the first response for all international students in my situation. The process should not be as stressful or as difficult a process as this was for me. Especially when traveling across the globe to be a part of such a highly recommended university. I am grateful I was able to remain here at Birkbeck and have started to build a wonderful relationship with my professors. Please take my words as an area to improve with the intentions of becoming an even better institution of higher learning.
