“
First of all, I have to say that I have learned a lot from my professors. They were so helpful, supportive and every time I needed help with something, they were always ready to help.
They pushed me to expand my knowledge and made me challenge myself and my views, making me want to learn more and explore more information. Thus, I think professors like them are one of the greatest and most valuable things here at UWS.
I also appreciate the TEG club, here at UWS London. I have had much fun, visited different places, and learned different skills and tools that are going to help me in my personal and professional life; not only that, but I have been able to meet new and great friends and felt part of a community.
