“The multiple visa denials did not deter me. I kept applying to further my education. I got 12 admissions in the UK. I decided to attend Robert Gordon University because of the course they offered me.”

The Robert Gordon University offered Seth a Masters in International Commercial Law. Seth said even though he bagged a Business Administration degree from the Ghana Technology University, he enjoyed the law course even more.

Seth after entering the UK became president of the post-graduate law school students association. He shared some of the changes he had brought to the union.

After serving as law school president, many people encouraged Seth to contest as student’s president for the whole university.
