" I arrived in the UK in October 2008 after gaining a Bachelors degree in Biomedical Engineering at In-Je University in South Korea. I wanted to come to the UK to learn English and improve my career prospects. In South Korea I worked for a marketing and sales firm and my colleagues often had to report to other countries using English. " At the moment I am working in St Luke’s Hospice as a volunteer for 2 days a week. I am really enjoying studying here and would recommend Harrow College to others. I have met many friends and hope to do well in my English exams and progress further on to the Intensive Advanced course at Harrow. " Ahyoung Jung, South Korea |
