I met some amazing people over my year in the Netherlands that will be friends for life and made memories I will never forget.
The style of teaching - Problem Based Learning (PBL) – and the modules I took were also major highlights. They were so different from modules in Loughborough and less focused on mainstream psychology. My favourite modules were ‘Neuropsychology and Law’ and ‘Psychedelic Medicine.’
During my study exchange the support available to me from Loughborough was amazing, especially given I was in another country. My exchange coordinator was extremely helpful and organised calls to see how I was getting on and if I needed guidance at other times, he was always happy to organise another call.
My main piece of advice to anyone planning to study at Loughborough is to definitely consider doing a year study abroad, even if it’s something you had never considered before.
It was the best experience of my life so far and I gained so much from my year in Maastricht. No matter in which country you complete an exchange, you will learn so much about yourself and grow so much as a person, as well as make loads new friends from all over the world and have an experience you will never forget.
