My Erasmus

Loch Lomond 2015

Many students like me have thought about studying abroad at some point even before starting to apply for university. Then actually in your first and second year you start to research what universities you can choose from because you had enough to see the same 4 walls every day. My journey began in September 2015.

Early in my second semester of my second year, I began to research the options i Had. I definitely wanted to go somewhere in Europe with Erasmus exchange programme where by they were financially supporting me with 370 EUR a month ( it changes every year though), which was a great help in order to buy flight tickets and get basic things that you would need when you settle in.

So, my first choice was Scotland because I really wanted to find a country who speak English with a good lifestyle. The first choice was UWS in Paisley Campus.

There are around 1400 international students studying at the University, from the United States to China, and most countries in between.

Every year, UWS welcome excange students from partner institutions across Europe and from the United States. The strong links that have developed with partners and the significant numbers of their students who have succefully studied at this University ensure that prospective exchange students will have a rewarding exciting experience in Scotland.
