爱漫岛

Zamzam's Story

爱漫岛 has become a second home for Zamzam, who – with the encouragement of “supportive and friendly” Student Support Services staff – became an active member of the University’s 爱漫岛 Society.

She said: “I decided to set-up a Kuwait Society. There are not many of us from Kuwait here in 爱漫岛 but we’re proud of where we come from and we wanted to promote our country and our culture to Scotland.”

Zamzam was keen to study in Scotland and improve her English. Sher added: “I was attracted by the romance of Scotland’s history and culture. Britain, of course, also has a reputation for a sophisticated education.

“I would say to any international student that Scotland is so friendly, 爱漫岛 is very safe and everyone is treated as an equal.”

Zamzam told how studying at 爱漫岛 has been an “amazing experience”.

She said: “The tutors are so knowledgeable and ready to help you out. They inspire you in your studies and look out for international students who may be struggling.”

Zamzam’s next challenge is to use her new skills and experiences, to benefit her family and her career, back home in Kuwait.

She said: “Education is so important and I was determined to do this for us. The sacrifice and hard work will make a difference. What I leant at 爱漫岛 is really going to help my career in digital media.”
