Entela's life as an Albanian student in the UK
Some of my friends also recommended travelling and studying in United Kingdom as they had such great experiences. This got me even more excited. Once I was accepted on to the programme, I had to start the visa application right away because I am not a European Union citizen. The process lasted from September to December 2022, mainly because communication with the Albanian consulate was difficult and because the UK government and the Albanian consulate had to authenticate my bachelor’s degree and the official transcript. But at the end, everything was sorted out also with the help of my agent that made the process of visa application runs more smoothly.
Before leaving Albanian for United Kingdom, I was understandably nervous. Even though the societies are similar, every aspect of my life was about to change. I had not visited the UK before, and living an entire year in the country was a much bigger challenge. I would say that I adapted quite rapidly, mainly because I speak quite well English, but also because Britain's are welcoming and easy to approach. I would recommend studying in London as an undergraduate or postgraduate student. There are several high-quality Universities with professors who are attentive, knowledgeable and welcoming (from my experience and from stories of friends I met who were also studying before in London).
Currently, I'm in my second semester and by the end of the next year 2024 I will be graduating for Marketing and I will highly recommend United Kingdom and especially Ulster University for all the Albanian students seeking a great experience and a diploma that is recognised in Europe. Ulster is giving the possibility to the international students to meet with different people and to adopt with a variety of culture, which was a challenge for me in the beginning and now I have made a lot of friends from different countries and backgrounds.
