Andrena Ng, graduate of the Department of English, University of Macau (UM), in the 2006\/2007 academic year, received Chevening Scholarship from the British Council, Hong Kong, with which she begins her Master of Arts programme in English Literature at the University of Warwick, UK, in September. This year, she is the only person from Macao among the 16 scholarship recipients from the Hong Kong-Macao region.<\/p>
Excellent in character and learning, Andrena has been an active participant in university life. She has been placed in the Dean\u2019s Honour List for four years, and at her third year, for instance, she participated in a half-year academic exchange programme in the United States. Going to study literature at Shakespeare\u2019s hometown, Warwick, she finally achieved her years-long dream of studying at the UK. The University of Warwick is recognized as one of the UK’s leading universities, excelling in both its teaching and research. Before her departure for the UK, Andrena has done a lot of preparations for her new academic adventure. She anticipates experiencing the British style of education and hopes that the humanistic learning environment could bring her inspirations for her feminist studies.<\/p>
The Chevening Scholarship scheme provides opportunities for outstanding university graduates and young professionals to pursue further education. The British Consulate-General in Hong Kong entrusted this scheme to the British Council, Hong Kong. The scholarship applicants will be assessed in terms of their aspirations, confidence, independence and other outstanding qualities. Andrena were grateful to her teachers for their cultivation and assistance in applying for the scholarship, without which she could never have made it. She further notes that she is looking forward to coming back and developing her loving academic career once she finishes the programme.<\/p>
