Thi Thu Phuong Luong (Chili) Hanoi, Vietnam Studied: ELPP then Master’s Qualifying Programme in Business, Finance & Management Now studying: MSc Finance Before joining my MSc Finance degree, I feel the ELPP and MQP courses helped me a lot to improve my speaking, vocabulary and confidence during. Each week, my personal tutor made sure I was making good progress and if I ever had any problems then he was on hand to discuss them and help me. I had originally thought about going to Florida, USA, to study my Master’s, after graduating in Automatic Control from Hanoi University of Technology, but the UK was a more economical and attractive option with only one year needed to complete my postgraduate degree. The opportunity to do a 12-week internship as part of my MSc at Coventry instead of a dissertation was also really appealing and I think this will be very useful for me when I return to Vietnam to find a good job.

Saruul Enkhmanadakh Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia Studied: UFP Business pathway Now studying: Year 2 of BA (Hons) Accounting & Finance “LSBU was my goal to do my degree because it is one of the top universities to do Accounting & Finance.

Saruul believes the combination of Maths, Business Studies and IELTS on her Foundation programmes was very good preparation to guarantee her successful progression on to the first year of her degree. In particular, the fact she prepared for and took the IELTS external examination meant she felt ready to study alongside her British classmates on the degree.
