Choosing ReasonsMORE
-
I have chosen this University because it is offering what i want to study in the first place. It is a University that is very well established and is accredited by many prestigious international accreditation bodies. I have also chosen it because most of the lessons are taught in English which will make easy for me since I have attended an English taught university before. It is also worth pointing out that the sound of being rewarded with a University of Liverpool degree and a degree from XJTLU is very appetizing.
