What is the most difficult thing about being an International Student?

Being an International Student can be challenging at the beginning as you need to adapt to a new education system, community, and living environment. I believe that although starting sounds uncertain and scary, going through this experience later you realise that this was the best experience, so it is always worth taking.

The course

The best thing about the course is that it provides students with real teaching practice in local schools every year. During university time, all facilities/materials/machines are available in order to help us to design better products and solve problems that the real world is facing. As young designers, it allows us to step into reality and convince companies of the value of our designs.

The lecturers

The best thing about the Design and Technology with QTS course is that lecturers are highly experienced and passionate in the area they teach, which makes learning not only effective but valuable for our future career.

Clubs and Societies

I am volunteering with St John Ambulance society; my role is Basic First Aider, providing treatment to the local community during sports matches and events. I am also enjoying being involved in swimming, mountain walking and kayaking clubs. I love being a member of the international society and campus life events, where I am socializing and meeting people from different backgrounds and learning about unique cultures.
