Why did you choose the University of Westminster?

I love London. The city is very diverse and there are a lot of opportunities to meet people from every culture. Westminster represents this and much more.

I'm studying Global Trade and Business BA and I enjoy it very much. It's an interesting and motivating course.

How have you found academic support as part of your studies?

I've found that lecturers have always been very supportive and helpful.

Are there any stand-out facilities associated with your course?

During my studies, my class and I had a fantastic opportunity to go on a trip abroad, where I had the chance to socialise with my classmates and find inspiration for my first steps into the business world.

I was the social/event manager of the Italian Society. I also went on trips to the Jaguar Land Rover factory, near Birmingham, and the Volkswagen factory in Germany.

What would your advice be to someone considering studying at Westminster?

My advice would be to come with an open mind and know that they are going to meet people from every corner of the world that have different cultures from ours, and to be prepared to learn a lot from each of them.

What's the best aspect of being a University of Westminster student?

You get to study in the centre of London and have access to different campuses across the city. There are also many events organised by the University.

What was the most surprising or unexpected aspect of your Westminster experience?

I'm now more open-minded in a cultural way and have learned a lot not just academically, but also socially.
