Rafail found his place at UWS - find yours!
Rafail is a student on our BEng (Hons) Aircraft Engineering programme at Paisley campus, and part of the Scotland archery team.
I’m from Greece and only applied to one university in Scotland, which was UWS. I came to the Open Day and saw that the engineering workshops were really nice, so I decided I should come here.”
