Mark Shilin Wang (China), BA Business and Economics
The British Council International Student Awards celebrate the achievements of international students
in the UK. Mark Shilin Wang was one of 12 regional winners in 2008, taking first prize for Wales. I like Swansea because it’s next to the ocean and I come from a city in China that is next to the ocean. The weather is good and it is not too busy, unlike London. Also the people are friendly and kind here. It’s good for study and the city life is good too

Qingyun Ma (China), Wales Representative for the Welsh Assembly Government in Chongqing, BA Business Studies from Swansea Metropolitan University and MBA from Swansea University
I had been longing for a MBA degree for years, for two reasons. Firstly, it is a pre-requisite to become a qualified professional manager in the contemporary business world, especially in an emerging dynamic economy like China, hence an MBA helps in obtaining better employment opportunities in the competitive job market in China. Secondly, it provides a chance to pause and reconsider a career track, after my many years of administrative experience in private and public organisations.

Yuen Leng Chin (Malaysia), BSc Actuarial Studies
What I like about Swansea is it’s the second largest city in Wales and a great place to study. It’s peaceful, there’s serene countryside, it’s cheap and the people are really nice. Swansea is compact and has everything you need; you can just walk everywhere and not wait for a bus.
