An incredibly enriching experience

Studying in the United Kingdom, and particularly in Edinburgh, has been an incredibly enriching experience. This opportunity has allowed me to broaden my personal and professional horizons by immersing myself in an academic environment that challenges me and offers new perspectives. I chose to study abroad precisely to enhance my scientific training and explore new ways of tackling challenges in my field.

I chose the University of Edinburgh primarily because I was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship that made this experience possible. Additionally, Edinburgh’s reputation as one of the top universities for studying mathematics in the UK and worldwide was a decisive factor. University life here is complete and stimulating; the campus boasts state-of-the-art facilities, creating an ideal environment for research and study.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Applied and Computational Mathematics, with a particular focus on electromagnetic theory. My decision to delve into this field is rooted in my passion for using mathematical tools to develop and understand physical phenomena. The integration of these disciplines allows me to approach complex problems from a unique perspective, which is something that truly excites me.

Moreover, Edinburgh is an extraordinary city both for studying and living. Its vibrant atmosphere, combined with a rich cultural life, offers a wide range of opportunities for leisure and personal growth, making the academic experience even more fulfilling.

Finally, I must mention the invaluable support I received from Across the Pond during my application process. Their guidance was constant, and I always had the attention and recommendations I needed from my advisor. Without their help, the process would have been considerably more complicated. Thanks to them, I was able to focus on what really matters: preparing for this exciting new academic chapter.
