Welcome to my channel on academic and personal development. I am an interdisciplinary food systems Ph.D. student at the Natural Resources Institute of the University of Greenwich under the United Kingdom Food Systems - Centre for Doctoral Training (UKFS-CDT) funded by the BBSRC. My doctoral research focuses on food environments and public health. I hold an MSc in Agriculture and Development from the University of Reading funded by the Chevening Scholarships and a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) degree from the University of Nairobi. I have also been awarded the Commonwealth Shared and Marshal Papworth scholarships as well as fellowships. Through this channel, I intend to inspire and guide applicants in their academic and personal development.

Dear Samuel! I did my first master's degree in Agronomy-Agriculture and now I am applying for my second degree through Chevening Scholarship. Can I receive Unconditional Offer from University of Reading without IELTS or TOEFL? I have Medium Instruction Certificate (MIC), Through which I studied my master degree.
Your videos are quite insightful, thank you.
I am glad you’ve found them helpful. Best wishes in your application.
@SamuelWairimu thank you
I am here to ask a question again. This course selection, is it okay? Sustainable agriculture at university of Leeds Animal science at university of aberystwth Livestock science at university of aberystwth. I am at a cross road and would appreciate your wise counsel.
Unfortunately, I am not able to answer the question as course choices depend on ability and career plan, and I don't have that information. I may have responded to this question in detail in the last session.
Thank you so much sir.l was at a cross road on how to write my career plan but after listening to u know.l now know what to write.God bless u
You're welcome. I am glad the session was helpful. Best wishes in your application.
@SamuelWairimu amen. Thank u. Pls is the university of south Wales a chevening partner
@ I addressed that issue in my last video.
Good morning Sir. Thank you for this. Please will you be able or have time to review essays please? Thank you very much
You're welcome. Unfortunately, due to my tight schedule, I am not able to review essays.
Is it plagiarism when I mention in my long term plan to initiaves of the British Council Iraq in details? Since I want to work in partnership with them. Their initiaves align with my plan
You don't have to copy. Just write in your own words (about your career plan) and add a sentence that states your plan aligns with the UK's priorities in Iraq.
Many thanks for sharing these insights
Glad it was helpful!
Can i use a particular incidence from my work experience that made me desire a post graduate degree in Animal science for my introduction in the study plan essay?
It is still fine, but I suggest demonstrating a gap in your country/sector and not just your place of work.
I enjoy watching your videos because every time, i gain more clarity from it and see where to improve on. Thank you so much for taking your time to present these things in a very relatable manner
Happy to hear that! Best wishes in your application.
I'm 58. I'm afraid no to be accepted because of the age
There is no age limit. There was a retired teacher from Cameroon accepted a few years ago.
How happy to hear that! Thank you @@SamuelWairimu
Thank you. Are some unis easier to get in depending on ranking or no of available chevening places??
No, if you meet the requirements and write a convincing personal statement, getting a university offer should be easy.
Thank you sir for this video, please can you make out time to review my essays for me??
I am glad the video was helpful. Unfortunately, I am not able to review essays at the moment.
Ok sir, No problem. Please just tell if these 3 courses I choose are related as per the chevening requirements: 1)Food Science (Food Biotechnology) 2) Food Science and innovation 3) Food quality, safety and innovation From 3 different universities. I just want to be sure
I would only know whether the courses are related by going through all the modules, which you should be able to do. As I explained in one of the videos, programmes may have the same title but differ in focus.
@@SamuelWairimu ook I have done that. Will I mention all the causes when writing my introduction or I should only mention one and then explain others when writing the first, second and third choice paragraphs.
Please refer to this agriculturefirstblog.wordpress.com/2019/08/14/my-chevening-journey-part-3-studying-in-the-uk-essay/
Sorry if i use ai to correct grammer and wording would they dismiss it??
You can use Grammarly to correct grammatical errors in your essays, but rewriting using AI will make the essays seem AI-generated. I hope that helps.
wooow this so wonderful. Thanks so much for this insightful information
You are so welcome. I am glad the video was helpful.
Hello Sam, I would like you to help me review my essays, am also applying the same course you did

Most welcome.
Can I apply for both the master's and shared scholarship?
Yes, you can if you are eligible.
Between the commonwealth master's scholarship and the shared scholarship, which one is the best for someone to apply for?
Scholarships are limited and competitive, so I would advise applying for all that you are eligible for and deal with the question on which to select later.

Great job Samuel. My question is i recently applied for the Hungarian spendium scholarship and i found out that its the Ministry of Education doing the preselection and then spendium will have ago there after in a second interview. Is the process the same for Chevening?
Hey! I am not sure about the process of the Hungarian scholarship.
Samuel you've not understood me. I know about the Hungarian scholarship. I am telling you for the Hungarian one the Ministry of edu kenya does the first round of selection. Now with that made clear i am asking you if the Ministry of edu kenya does the first round of selection on behalf of chevening?
Okay. I get you now. Chevening is purely a British High Commission affair. The government is not involved in any way.
Thank you for your response and i appreciate you answering. God bless.
Best wishes!
