SEVEN Nigerian students will begin university courses this year after successfully completing the International Access to Business course at Bournemouth and Poole College.

Six will study law and one computing following the course, sponsored by the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency.

“They have all progressed brilliantly and have been superb ambassadors for their country,” said Tracey Griffin, faculty manager for adult and higher education.

“They had to deal with cultural differences after arriving in this country for the first time and the snow in February was quite a shock.”
