View Official Announcement

As a final-year international student at the University of West London (UWL), I am honored to be named a finalist for the 2025 #WeAreInternational Student of the Year Award, a prestigious recognition presented by UKCISA and sponsored by IDP Education.

This award celebrates international students who have made a meaningful impact on their peers, institutions, and communities across the UK. Being shortlisted among such inspiring individuals is a proud moment in my academic and personal journey.

“International students are not just learners — we are leaders, innovators, and cultural ambassadors.”

Through my studies in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, my entrepreneurial ventures across the UK, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, and my commitment to inclusive, cross-cultural collaboration, I strive to represent the values of global citizenship and innovation that this award embodies.
