Nina Hasebe studied the Advanced Level Foundation before progressing to King's College London (#35) to study Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
"I chose Kings London because my high school diploma wouldn’t be accepted here, so I needed a kind of stepping stone into a UK university, and Kings London was the perfect choice for me.
The staff were very helpful in helping me choose which universities I was interested in, what subjects I was interested in and they helped me set up meetings with students who had gone to universities I was interested in, and helped me meet up with them so I could speak with them about their experience at university.
For me it helped as I was constantly thinking about my next steps and if you’re trying to juggle your first year at university with getting used to a whole new country and new life, that can be quite tough. I think Kings helped because it gives you a structured idea of what academic life might be life when you go to university. I think it was a really good step to getting an English undergraduate degree."
