University of Cambridge
speciality: Education

Attending the University of Cambridge has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The classes, professors, community, traditions, libraries, and available support create an ideal environment for students to thrive and pursue their goals.

The interdisciplinary approach that Cambridge utilises for the teaching of many of their degree courses was what first attracted me to studying here. Throughout my first year of studying Education, Psychology & Learning, I have been exposed to philosophical, psychological and sociological perspectives and introduced to new ways of thinking which I had never previously considered. The supervision system and independence with essay writing has truly enabled me to challenge myself and has pushed my writing to new heights which I have enjoyed the process of.

Outside of the academics, I have also found that the support and social life are better than I had previously believed, although improvements could be made in both areas to benefit students more. Overall, I truly feel that I am gaining a world-class education and experience through my studies here (at least, for my subject!)

The teachers on my master’s course included some of the people producing the most exciting research in my field – it was inspiring to be taught by them. It’s a beautiful city, too. The accommodation is ok.
