TWO SERC students are cele-brating after being selected to study in America for a year.
Samuel George and Hope Bradley, from Newtownards, have been chosen for the Study USA Programme, a scholarship to spend a full academic year at an American college or uni-versity studying business and management.
Samuel, a second year Liver-pool John Moore’s University BA Business Studies student, will study for one year at the University of the Ozarks, in Clarksville, Arkansas.
Hope, an HND Applied Biology student, will spend her time at Rocky Mountain College, in Montana.
The Study USA programme is administered by the Department for Employment and Learning and delivered by the British Council. It aims to equip students with international expertise and essential business skills, and to raise the profile of Northern Ireland in the United States.
SERC International officer SERC, Zia Nazar, is the first point of contact at the college for students wishing to participate in this programme. Congratulating this year’s successful students Zia said:
“We are delighted that Samuel and Hope were successful and are looking forward to hearing about their progress.”
