I Would Like to Study at University of Oxford in England
Degrees from UK higher education providers are respected around the world, and the choice of subjects ı
can study is extensive. A degree from any British university will look great on a CV, and when looking for
work in the future, no matter the industry and the location, having a qualification from the UK will be a
great selling point.
The UK is multicultural.The UK is a multicultural country and is also immensely popular with international
students. In fact, the UK is the most popular destination for overseas students in the world.This diversity
means campuses are alive with different cultures. I can mix with people from around the world and learn
so much more than just what ı am studying on my degree.
I can find a lot more job opportunities in the UK than in my own country. Finding a part-time job and
doing an internship will allow me to learn new skills and earn money while studying, which I think will
prevent me from having financial difficulties. to the experiences I gained during the internship, I think
that I will find more job opportunities when I graduate.
