‘I have been volunteering with the University of Birmingham Dubai since the exciting new campus opened. I have attended most of the open days, events and workshops, talking to new students to welcome them, and offer my experience of studying with Birmingham. ‘As a novelist with five published books, meeting new people from different walks of life is a reward that is not easily achieved. On the other hand, volunteering at the University keeps me in touch with the academic world, creating new opportunities for the future.’
Fatemeh Faroughi, MA Applied Linguistics, 2016
‘Studying at the University of Birmingham gave me an international outlook, which is invaluable especially when you are dealing with clients from across the globe.
There are many alumni living and working in Dubai and our network is so important. We know of graduates who have been offered jobs through being connected to fellow Birmingham alumni. As a student at the University of Birmingham Dubai, you will have the chance to take advantage of the alumni group’s knowledge, contacts and expertise.’
