University student
Taking part in the Study Abroad programme at Durham was one of the best experiences of my life. Durham University, specifically the Business School, provided a great learning environment, starting from the amazing friends I met both inside and outside the classroom, to the professors who taught the courses, all the way to the facilities provided. I have also gained a better understanding of marketing and business which I otherwise would not have studied at home as an Information System student. I would recommend everyone who is fortunate enough to study abroad at Durham to do it.
