Yawei Niu studied the Advanced Level Foundation before progressing to Durham University to study Mathematics.

"Kings provided me with a really warm home, which meant I didn’t have to worry about anything except studying. Because it’s really hard for foundation students to get into Durham, and as I hadn’t learnt Further Maths before, Kings provided me with free lessons in Further Maths for a long time, which helped a lot.

I really like the British universities. It’s not just about study, but also about attitudes to study — self study is really important here, and is helping me get closer to my dream. I also have lots of friends here and I’ve got to know more about British culture, and cultures from other countries too."
