Hisham Al Shamasi decided to come to New Zealand to study a postgraduate qualification at Lincoln University. As a first step towards this qualification he is now taking an English Language course which will help prepare him for his further study.
“Lincoln is a nice and quiet place to study.” Adding to this he says he enjoys the diverse and friendly student population on campus. “I met many people from different countries and I got to learn about their cultures.”
Hisham spends most of his time studying English which involves writing essays and doing research. “Learning English helps me to communicate with people in New Zealand and with people who do not speak Arabic.”
After finishing his English Language course Hisham will continue his studies at Lincoln University with a postgraduate degree in marketing.
