I am indebted to the Canon Collins Trust and the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office Chevening programme for the combined scholarship award that made it possible for me to enrol on this course at this University. This scholarship is a dream come true and a real lifetime opportunity, which I remain to cherish for rest of my life. The University of Exeter’s Cornwall Campus has excellent research and training facilities. The department of biosciences, in particular, has strong links for research with well-known conservation organisations and universities within the UK and internationally. This link facilitates interactions between students and researchers from key conservation related organisations. The lecturers are world class, friendly, helpful, approachable and contactable even during after-work hours. Located in a beautiful countryside, near the coastal town of Falmouth, the campus is perfectly placed for postgraduate training.
