Ramatu Wuni from Ghana is studying on the MSC in Public Health at Bournemouth University. She tells us about her pre-arrival enquiries, her experiences of Bournemouth and the skills she developed on the course. The School of Health & Social Care at Bournemouth University (BU) has a long-standing reputation for providing student-centred, innovative courses that prepare and develop health and social care practitioners. The School takes pride in the quality of our educational experience, working closely with partners in health, social care and private service provision to ensure studying at BU leads to fitness for practice and purpose. Ramatu Wuni came to the UK to study MSc Public Health. Before coming to the UK, Ramatu was a teaching assistant in the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana: “I was involved in organising and supervising laboratory and field practicals and marking reports. I came to study at BU as I had quick responses to all my enquiries and I was contacted frequently regarding things that needed to be done. This gave me an impression of how serious and hardworking the staff are and the quality of the degree I will get from the University.” Ramatu finds it very easy living in Bournemouth and has a great passion for the UK and the people. She has made lifelong friends which has helped make her time at BU a very rewarding one. “The UK is a very nice place. Everything is well organised. Time is highly respected and it is very easy to locate places you have never been to. BU is a great place to be, I like everything about Bournemouth and the surrounding area. The people are very friendly and approachable and always willing to help." At BU we pride ourselves on being a very cosmopolitan university. We are in a prime spot for tourism and attract many international students because of this. We believe a degree at BU will meet your highest expectations. It will also prepare you for your future career, as Ramatu confirms: “I plan to return to my home country after I complete my studies to work as a Director of Public Health. With my MSc Public Health degree from BU, I know I stand a better chance.” “I can’t fault my course. Lectures are delivered in a very friendly manner and information about the course and learning materials are available on the website. I have already developed some valuable learning and research skills and I am extremely grateful to be on this course.” Ramatu Wuni, Ghana
