Testimonials from Founding Members
“As one of the original members of Linkren it was me and three fellow students who asked Paul to help us develop the organisation. He used to live in China and understood what typical UK academics and agencies did not about our needs whilst studying in the UK. He has developed Linkren into one of the most respected, trusted and popular organisations in the UK which is focussed on helping international students.”
“Being one of the original team I am proud of what Linkren has grown to become. It delivers real benefits for Chinese students studying in the UK. Its range of support services, course and workshops are both valuable and useful. Any student considering study in the UK should speak with the team at Linkren. The team is made up of Chinese graduates who have experienced everything that new students will experience.”
“I was also one of the original team involved with setting up Linkren and I p know from personal experience that Chinese students need help and support from people and organisations who are not focussed on just making money. Studying in the UK brings its own challenges and issues and sometimes you will need help to manage these. The team at Linkren can help you as they helped me and many others.”
Testimonials from Students
“As someone who worked for a large education agency in China who then came to the UK to study, I was so impressed by the organisation and services offered by Linkren. The team is made up of a highly regarded academic and business leader supported by bright and intelligent Chinese and Asian graduates who have studied in the UK. Very professional, helpful and insightful. The senior team there have personally helped me tremendously. I recommend them to all students and parents of students considering study in the UK” - Avivi
“Paul and the team at Linkren are so helpful. I was so impressed what they were doing for Chinese students that I volunteered for their company during my studies. When I had issues with my course they helped and advised me through it. Also, they helped me prepare for the jobs market and I finally got the job of my dreams here in the UK.”- Yifan
“I was introduced to Linkren whilst studying at Lincoln University. The team there were fantastic and helped me and my friends in many different ways, with our course work, finding accommodation and also helping us prepare for life after university. I have since become great friends with the senior team at Linkren who have continued to help and support me after my graduating. They have even visited me in China and helped me set up a business...wow...so cool these people” – WhitneY
