Study social media abroad

Did you know that York has 365 pubs?

I was looking to do a Masters in Social Media and Social Research because I wanted to learn more about user behaviour on social networks. The University of York is ranked first in Sociology for research impact and fourth in the UK (according to Times Higher Education), and is a member of the prestigious Russell Group. It was therefore always my first choice.

During my time as a student at the University of York, I felt very integrated and welcomed. I was very supported by all the academic staff, the welfare team and the staff at my college (Wentworth). I also had the opportunity to be a course representative for my master's degree and I did a communications internship for my college. The University of York opened up a world of possibilities and new opportunities at the same time!
 

Student Life: York as a university city

The city of York is a university city par excellence. Studying in its two campuses was a wonderful experience because they are places where you connect with nature and the tranquillity necessary to study. 

In addition, the university is very well connected to the city centre in no more than 15 minutes by bus. If you like cycling like I do, it will definitely be a great experience, as you can easily cycle around York safely in its streets and parks. 

York's nightlife is vibrant and lively - did you know that York has 365 pubs? You can definitely enjoy one every day of the year. 
 

How did I get to York? Thanks to Across the Pond 

There is no doubt that my dream of studying in England would not have been possible if it hadn't been for the advice I got from Across the Pond. I worked with them for 4 years where they helped me to find a Master's degree that matched my interests, as well as to apply to the University of York and to receive funding from Becas Chile. 

My advisor and I know how long this journey was because I didn't speak any English, but I finally managed to get the scholarship to study abroad and the level of English that the university required me to study. I will be infinitely grateful to Across the Pond forever.
