I completed a Diploma in International Studies, which involved studying overseas at the University of Western Australia. I feel that the opportunity to undertake a year either in a professional work placement or studying overseas is something that truly sets Loughborough apart from other Universities and was one of the key reasons I chose to study at Loughborough.
Studying at the University of Western Australia was an invaluable experience, it allowed me to explore different areas of interest, which perhaps are not part of the course at Loughborough (in fact it was here that I enrolled in a course in global health and my passion for the subject was initially sparked). I was also able to immerse myself into a different culture, make new friends from across the world and ultimately become a better global citizen.
