#FacesOfChevening 🇬🇧 Carla Nocheseda, Philippines MSc in Materials Science and Engineering University of Sheffield . “What I like most about living in the UK is experiencing firsthand the advantages of good education and employment programmes, transport system, social and health services, cultural, social and recreational life which are important in equalising opportunities. These permeates me deeply and significantly altering my idea of living. In the UK, I get to be this gutsy and productive risk-taker of a student who is passionate about engineering solutions that will never be considered as lame or naive, or too ambitious by some of the best academics in my field who are now my mentors. Said it before and will say it again, Chevening Scholarship gave me the opportunity to be part of a vibrant network of leaders who do not just value academic and professional development but also, interdisciplinary collaboration among its passionate members, many of whom are dedicating their lives to many forms of public service.” . #IAmChevening #MyCheveningJourney #CheveningSMA #ScholarlyLife #LoveChevening #LoveUK (at Arthur's Seat)

I grew up with Harry Potter books and movies but never have my own copy because it’s too much to ask for my parents to buy. I used to borrow my bestfriend’s collections. For me, this whole experience was like under “Wingardium leviosa”! The #Potterhead in me was “alohomora(ised)”. Learned potions, alchemy, herbology, charms, astronomy, divination, defence agains the dark arts, and care of magical creatures at Harry Potter: A History of Magic at the @britishlibrary 📚 ⚡️ Fun fact: I share the same 🎂 with @officialjkrowling and Harry ⚡️ #IAmChevening #MyCheveningJourney #CheveningSMA #ScholarlyLife #LoveChevening #LoveUK #BLHarryPotter (at The British Library)

In an apologetic tone, I’d say that I was judgmental with London. It does not deserve to be covered in gloom and darkness of winter. To see how its beauty is lit by sunshine is enough to conclude a day of work and meeting @cheveningfco scholars/friends. Who enjoyed the sun today? ☀️ #IAmChevening #MyCheveningJourney #CheveningSMA #CoolCities #LoveChevening #LoveUK #London #VisitEngland (at Picadilly)

Me on Valentine’s Day: Unearthing my heart from the grave. 💚😂 On the other hand, what do you think of this picturesque graveyard in #Glasgow? Would you burry your broken heart in it? How’s your Valentine’s, loves? 😘 #IAmChevening #MyCheveningJourney #CheveningSMA #CoolCities #Scotland #LoveChevening #LoveUK #VisitScotland (at Glasgow, United Kingdom)

#FacesOfChevening 🇬🇧 Hend ElSayed, Egypt MSc International Strategic Marketing University of Glasgow . “What I like the most in the UK is the calm nature of Scotland mixed with fancy Victorian architecture. When I was younger, I got inspired by one of my professors who had his degree in Edinburgh. All I dreamt that time is to have the same fate with my professor—to study in the UK, and Chevening made it come true.” . #IAmChevening # MyCheveningJourney #ScholarlyLife #LoveChevening #LoveUK (at Glasgow, United Kingdom)

#FacesOfChevening 🇬🇧 Maite Capendeguy, Uruguay MSc Environmental Engineering Newcastle University . “Chevening is much more than studying at a prestigious university, it is about learning from other Cheveners' experience and point of view. Chevening is about bridging gaps. I discovered that people in Syria drink the typical Uruguayan drink and in Belarus they know about it. But above all, it is about realising that no matter which our cultural background is, we all believe in building a better future and the Chevening experience makes this easier. What I like the most about studying in the UK, is the amount of people from all over the world that I have met. Also, I love the English sense of humour and their politeness.” . #IAmChevening # MyCheveningJourney #ScholarlyLife #LoveChevening #LoveUK (at Newcastle Castle)
