A life-changing experience that broadens horizons and transforms lives
Studying for a Master’s degree in the United Kingdom has been an invaluable experience for both my professional and personal life. I was motivated by the desire to learn how to lead an educational organisation, develop my skills as a researcher, practise my English in daily life, and immerse myself in the British culture.
During this year in Durham, I have been fortunate to be taught by renowned professors, make friends from all over the world, and even meet the love of my life. Academic life has been demanding and enriching. On a personal level, I have felt very supported and loved by my social circle, and I have learned about international cuisines and traditions.
Of course, I have missed my family, friends, pets, culture, and even my home country’s weather. Still, it has all been worth it. My family has visited me, and I plan to travel soon to see them again.
Coming to the UK was a fresh start for me. Now, I would like to stay, find a job, get married, and pursue a PhD. To anyone considering studying abroad, I would say it is a life-changing experience that broadens horizons and transforms lives.
