Free return ticket to the United Kingdom
It is always good to see a collaboration between various organisations or institutions.
In this particular situation, Etihad Airways, the British Council, Kanoo Travel and Strategic Partnership Solutions recently collaborated to offer one student a return ticket to the UK. Very good partnership afterall.
Radhika Unnikrishnan, received her ticket at the British Council.
She is currently based in the UAE. Radhika studies psychology and has a real passion for helping people.
Her future destination to complete her qualification will be the UK. She will then take a flight to Manchester from Abu Dhabi to spend some time at the fantastic Manchester Business School - part of Manchester University - to continue her Master of Science in Managerial Psychology.
Understandably, she is rather nervous to leave the sunny emirates for a "slightly" colder country. The climate is not the main worry anyway.
But being away from family and friends can sometimes affect your spirit and concentration. However, Radhika is ready for this life experience.
... she is very excited about embarking on a new adventure. In fact, one of the reasons Radhika chose to study in the UK was because of its reputation as a cultural hub and the opportunities for travel across Europe...(source: http://www.abudhabiweek.ae)
Going abroad when on holiday is one thing, but when it is direclty linked to your future, leisure is then put aside for more serious matter. Overall, an exciting situation.
When students have to change region and university it is a new adventure but when going to another country, everything is multiplied by 10 (excitement, worries...etc).
Nowadays, whether you study or work, you have to go around the world to attend training sessions and sometimes this can't be done by video-conference.
In the case of Radhika Unnikrishnan, it is sure that she will enjoy her stay in Manchester because it has been organised by the British Council and the flights by Etihad Airways Sponsors of Manchester City Football Club, are renowned to be comfortable.
