   What Our Students Say

Deborah Otibhor

Deborah Otibhor Agboga |   MHSc International Healthcare Management

My experience as an international student in St Angela’s exceeded my expectations. Coming from the BN International programme 2018 into the Masters programme 2019 was quite intensive, however, the lecturers were extremely helpful and approachable. The Campus is beautiful and has a friendly environment with excellent facilities. The education I have received studying in St Angela’s college have undoubtedly increased my confidence and prepared me for a great future in Nursing.
