"Applying to the University of Bolton was one of the biggest challenges of my life – studying abroad in a different country, in a different language without family or friends. But, when I arrived everything in the university changed my fears. Everybody was very friendly and gave explanations about everything you need. The University of Bolton is not big and you get to know friends in class, around the university and in the Halls of Residence." Carlos Sousa is studying for a BSc (Hons) Business Information Systems degree.
