When did you study at Northumbria University?
I studied at
Northumbria University in the first semester of the academic year 2017/18.
What subject did you study at Northumbria?
Psychology.
Why did you decide to do Study Abroad?
I
had always wanted to go to the U.K. and I wanted to experience the country from
a local standpoint, rather than a tourist’s standpoint.
Why did you decide to come to Northumbria
University?
My
home university offered an exchange programme at Northumbria University, and
the programmes seemed like they would provide me with a global perspective in
the field that I study.
What is your favourite memory of being at
Northumbria?
Definitely
the first day that I moved in! I had been talking to my soon-to-be neighbours
and flatmates online.
The first day I got there, I got off of the bus
and I saw my new friends waiting for me outside of my accommodation!
Did you find living in Newcastle expensive?
Not
at all. I found Newcastle to be much more affordable than the cities in my home
country.
How will you use your experience of Studying
Abroad at Northumbria in the future?
I
applied to study my postgraduate degree at Northumbria University, and I’m
hoping I get in. Northumbria University has strengthened my sense of global
citizenship, and has given me more opportunities to study cultural competency,
which is an important trait to have in my field.
What advice would you give to a student who is
thinking of coming to Northumbria to Study Abroad?
Make
friends with the locals and talk to your professors. Don’t be afraid to ask
questions, the university is always happy to help!
