Hi :) My name is Mie, and I am a MSc student in Finance and Risk at the University of Dundee. So far, my experience of studying in the UK has been amazing. I absolutely love attending a university that is located in a country with an education system known to provide its students with such great academic excellence.
University of Dundee is located in the sunniest city in Scotland with a neighbourhood consisting of limitless amounts of breathtaking nature and historical attractions. It is a very safe and friendly place to live and study, and I very much enjoy having everything I need within walking distance from campus. I personally love to run down to the maritime trails or hike up to Dundee Law to see the incredible view of the city. Did you know that ‘law’ is actually the Scottish word for hill? Neither did I, but that’s just one of the many cool and unique parts about studying abroad; you will never stop learning new things.
For me, it was very important to find a university that fulfilled my ambition of pursuing a master’s in finance while also being located in a friendly and safe environment. During my visit to the University of Dundee, I was welcomed by a homelike and friendly atmosphere, and consequently felt at home right away. I was also very excited to learn that the university offered the possibility to pursue a MSc in finance combined with another business topic. University of Dundee fulfilled both of my wishes, and I could not have been happier with my choice of enrolment.
I currently live in a student accommodation on campus with five other amazing flatmates that I love to spend time with. We all share a kitchen and lounge, but have our own bedroom and bathroom. In this way, I am able to have my own privacy, yet, I always have friends to hang out with in the common area at any point. A typical weekday for me consists of lectures and a great amount of individual and group studies at the library. The main library has a variety of silent, quiet, and group study rooms, and in combination with its nice interior, it has quickly become one of my favourite places on campus. After a long day of studying, I very much enjoy attending one of the fun workout classes at our institute of sports and exercise, or attend one of the very knowledgeable business-related events organized by the university. During the weekends, I absolutely love spending my time visiting one of the charming cafes in the city of Dundee, taking the short train ride to one of the nearby cities, or discovering the breathtaking Scottish Highlands.
All things considered; I could not have asked for a better home away from home. The University of Dundee has without a doubt been absolutely amazing, and I cannot wait to continue this journey of creating new and fun memorable experiences.
