What our students say...
"Hi, my name is Bukky Tijani from Lagos, Nigeria. I鈥檓 a recent Master鈥檚 in Media Production student of 探花直播, where I finished with a Distinction and had the honour of giving the Graduate speech at my Graduation for the class of 2024.
My time at 探花直播 was nothing short of transformative. It was indeed a chapter defined by resilience, opportunities, growth and purpose. After two initial rejections, I didn鈥檛 give up. I applied a third time, determined to make the vision I had for myself a reality, and BCU became the place where that vision took root and flourished."
