What our students say
Jyotee Caullychurn
MSc Telecommunications (Networks)
Mauritius
After completing my undergraduate studies in Information and Communication Technologies from the University of Mauritius I made up my mind to opt for a taught postgraduate degree course in Telecommunications. I was on the lookout for a university with a high calibre, a university with an excellent reputation that offers a high standard of teaching and necessary support facilities. Queen Mary University of London was the perfect choice since it is among the best institutions in the UK, it satisfied all my criteria. I succeeded in obtaining the State of Mauritius Postgraduate Scholarship and made it to Queen Mary.
