By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - Fourteen students from the Faculty of Business, Economics and Policy Studies, Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) will bestarting a new chapter in their lives when they begin their two-year twining programme at Sheffield University, United Kingdom.

Before flying off to the UK on Wednesday evening, the Bulletin caught up with some of the twining programme students.

Filled with excitement, Syukri bin Haji Jais, one of the 14 students selected for the twining programme in UK said, "I am very excited and delighted but yet a little bit nervous."

Syukri said the toughest challenge of going overseas to study is to be independent and become more mature. However, he is ready to face any challenges in order to succeed.

With the ambition of becoming an accountant, Haji Mohd Azrul bin Haji Mohd Zain was delighted to be part the group of students going to the UK.

Having been to the UK before, he said the biggest challenge of living there is to maintain a budget, brave the cold weather and the culture shock.

Also looking forward to her twining programme is Dayang Yusbazillah binti Haji Md Yusof. "It is my dream to study in UK," she said.

Worrying about the culture shock and different ways British people dress and think from Bruneians, Dayang Yusbazillah prepared to confront the challenges by reading more about UK and trying to understand the British culture and people.

Dayang Yusbazillah would also like to convey her sincere thanks to lecturers who helped push the students to get better grades. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
