A warm welcome to our refugee student

15th July 2017

We’re thrilled to introduce Ibrahim. Ibrahim is one of three students who has been granted a Celtic scholarship to study English for 9 months, as the part of our partnership with RefuAids.

Here is what Ibrahim has to say about his first week at Celtic:

“My name is Ibrahim and l am from Syria in the Middle-East. I came to the UK in 2015 and l have recently started my ten week IELTS preparation course studying at Celtic English Academy.

My family currently live in Holland in the Netherlands, so l visit them approximately once or twice a year whenever l get the chance to. 

I hope to develop my English so that l can achieve a 6.5 in IELTS and then apply to go to university to continue my studies and become qualified as a mechanical engineer.” 

We wish Ibrahim an amazing time in Cardiff and Celtic English Academy.
