@ninakorbe Despite the UK being plunged into ano @ninakorbe 

Despite the UK being plunged into another lockdown, I am so grateful for the all the work and effort from @royalacademyofmusic to ensure we as students can continue to learn in as an enriching and seamless way as possible! The sudden shift for classes to revert back to online learning has been handled with great consideration for students to continue to glean the most from their studies. The access to rehearsal spaces at my residential college @ishlondon is also such a privilege in these times! I am feeling inspired by my lectures this week and glad to be back to study - in whatever form it may be!

Celebrating a former resident on his graduation! Celebrating a former resident on his graduation! 

Reposted: @elias.abuata 

Hopeful that 2021 would bring more positivity and less stress to all of us. Kicking off this year with a post of my postgrad certificate that I finally received at the end of last year after a challenging year in London. Firstly, I thank God, my family and friends who provided significant emotional support to me. My deepest appreciation goes to the Darwazah Foundation for sponsoring my full-time studies and living costs, @ishlondon for offering me accommodation, and the Department of Management at @birkbeckuol. I also extend my thanks to my former colleagues and staff at the @nrc_norway for their tremendous support in one of my courseworks, as well as the dissertation, both of which I completed with distinction. Lastly, I dedicate this degree to the spirit of my late grandmother, who passed away during my time of study.
Officially a #bbkgrad 👨🏽‍🎓🎓🍾

‘A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. ‘A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only once.' 

While reading may not be the perfect replacement for travel, it does allow one to experience different places from the comfort of one’s bed. 

In our latest article, we shared 5 books from Bill Gates’ latest reading list. Link to the article in bio.
