Brunei Darussalam 27th National Day

Assalamualaikum,

Bru Brad Society celebrated the 27th National Day celebration on the 12th of March at the University of Bradford. The event started with the singing of the National Anthem 'Allah Peliharakan Sultan' followed by the recitation of the Doa Selamat led by Awg Muhd Nur Hafizuddin Bin Md Yassin. It was followed shortly by a speech delivered by the President of BruBrad Society, Dyg. Marha Hanafiah where she thanked the members who organised and attended the event.

The occasion was graced by collections of traditional and patriotic songs of Brunei Darussalam. Attendees were also entertained with games prepared by the committee.

On behalf of the committee, we would like to thank the people from 1, Grantham Terrace for providing us the food and beverages and everyone for coming.

BruBrad Get Together with The Vice-Chancellor

02/03/2011 - The university's International Office held a small gathering with the Brunei students studying in the institution. The event was held in Richmond Building where the students get the opportunity to talk with the international officers and each other.

Teresa Stead, one of the International Officers who are the university's favourite representative to Brunei Darussalam, had the chance to know new students from Brunei and those who are currently in their final years.

The event gave the university's Vice-Chancellor, Mark Cleary, to relieve his memory of Brunei since he used to be a lecturer in the University of Brunei Darussalam.

The function ended by the VC giving a small yet stern speech regarding the students' studies in the university. He urged the students to work hard in their exams and assignments especially the final year students.

This story has been published in Brunei's local newspapers especially the Borneo Bulletin and here is the link: BRUBRAD!

Digital Scrapbook - A Bruneian student in the UK

Share your experience of education in the UK with the British High Commission and you could win an iPhone, iPad or other valuable prizes. The High Commission hopes to entice Bruneian students currently in the UK, or any Bruneian who has studied there, to take part in a competition called ‘The Digital Scrap Book – A Bruneian student in the UK’.

Participants are required to produce a short video (up to three minutes) on their experience of British education, and upload it to the British High Commission’s YouTube Channel. They may interpret the theme in whatever way they wish. Possible approaches include: diary format (“A Day in the Life of a Bruneian student at …” University X); coverage of activities organised by a Bruneian Students Association (outing, sporting event, birthday party or religious festival); interviews with fellow students about campus life, or with members of the university’s International Office.

The idea is to build a collage of moving pictures which portray the experiences of Bruneian students in the UK; and to help the High Commission advise schools, colleges and universities on how to serve their Bruneian customers. So, while the High Commission reserves the right not to select material which is coarse or inappropriate, entrants should not hesitate to include examples of things which could be done better.

Read more on the terms and conditions of the competition.

A Media Conference and official launching was held on Thursday, 18 November 2010
