Talk me through a typical day in the life as a GBSH student.

Every day varies, but overall each module has an active in-depth learning approach and gets us involved in various teamwork group projects, which enables us to collaborate with other students from different backgrounds. Some days are pretty busy and productive, yet so much fun. The challenges just make it more exciting. During this programme, there are also loads of activities to do outside of just studying! I certainly appreciate every moment I spend here at the UCL GBSH.

Since the beginning, my favourite thing has been the opportunity to engage with my cohort and inspirational people from across the world.
