As part of my programme, I was given the opportunity to do an amazing six-week internship in Chile at Universidad de Los Andes, fully funded by the Turing Scheme. I co-led a project to develop an Intercultural Competence Framework, which we presented at a workshop. Back on campus, I loved how engaging the teaching was, especially the seminars where we discussed important issues in education with students and staff from around the world. Alongside my studies, I took on four paid campus roles, all of which strengthened my career skills while allowing me to earn money during the year.
I enjoyed living in Birmingham so much that I chose to stay after graduating. It’s a convenient, well-connected city and is incredibly diverse, you can find any ingredient or cuisine you’re looking for. The campus itself is beautiful, and I always felt safe and supported here.
