- Session 3 How to study in the UK
This session aims to help you understand in advance all the difficulties you may encounter in your student life, including the different teaching methods; achieving a good result; reliving the pressure from studying etc. We will have invited guests to share their experiences about studying in the UK to help students truly achieve their goals and have a valuable experience while studying abroad.
Invited Guest:
Dr.Zejun Yan has graduated from The University of Edinburgh in PhD Cell and Molecular Biology in 2013. He came to the UK from China when he was 16 years old and has lived and studied in Cambridge and Edinburgh for more than 10 years. Now he is working as a teaching assistant in the University of Edinburgh and at the same time preparing for his Postdoctoral work in his study area. The experience of years of studying abroad have given him a clear and profound understanding about the education system in the UK and also generated a special view about the differences between studying in China and the UK, which will help us to explore how to study in the UK as a foreign student.
