What did you study at the University of Birmingham?
I studied in the College of Social Sciences and my modules were: Enterprising Solutions to Social Problems, and Social Psychology. At my home institution, I was studying Criminology and Criminal Justice Studies.
How was your semester experience at the University of Birmingham?
My time at the University of Birmingham significantly influenced my career prospects and opportunities, as well as helped me grow my networks and discover different opportunities that I wouldn't have been aware of otherwise.
I would say my time at UoB was full of "Adventure, happiness, and memories"
Any advice to students considering a global opportunity at UoB?
The advice I would give students considering a global opportunity at UoB would be to do it. Better be scared than to regret not doing it at all. It was the best decision I could have ever made and I would do it again 1,000 times over.
