Advice to students

My piece of advice to students

I had a really tough financial situation during my study in the UK as a self sponsored international student, the dim economic situation of my country, and no grant or fund for internationals in Sheffield and even no casual job made it the worst time ever in my life. So I was advised to find first a scholarship, then do a PhD.

Other comments

I did not think as a post graduate that when I start doing PhD, there is no opportunity to find a job in the University or even in Sheffield.

It could be a great and a huge help to find a job for students especially for people like me that had years experience of doing clinic but could not find a job and make my life status better when I was studying a hard subject and I needed to enjoy living abroad and focus on my major.
