Kash Ahmed, Bangladesh (BSc Economics & Mathematics)

At the end of my first year I can say that it has certainly lived up to my expectations. It is an awesome place for higher education.
Jonathan Hanson, Canada (PhD Earth Sciences)

I have found Bristol to be an excellent place to live, an effervescent city with lots going on and a noticeable alternative streak
Joel Lambert, Dominica (M.B.Ch.B Medicine)

I would highly recommend Bristol not only to fellow Dominicans but also to Caribbean applicants as a whole as life in Bristol is easily adaptable to the West Indian experience.
Akiko Kato, Japan (MSc International Development)

I have really developed new skills in thinking critically and offering my own opinion even if it differs from others. This is such a liberating feeling.
Aiman Yedigeyeva, Kazakhstan (MSc Economics, Finance and Management)

What I like most about Bristol is that it is a truly British city, with “hands-on” opportunities to learn about history and culture, located close to major sights in UK.
Greta Hawes, New Zealand (PhD Classics)

There is a strong postgraduate community here with a sizable contingent of international students.
Angel Goldstrom, Philippines (MA Law)

The quality of education is excellent and studying here will give students enriching and liberating experiences.
Maria Prilepa, Russia (BSc Economics)

The system of education in Russia is very different from British system, there are a lot more opportunities to develop your skills and get more qualitative education here..
Heebon Park-Finch, South Korea (PhD Drama)

The University of Bristol’s Department of Drama is known as one of the most prestigious and best places to study drama theory and practice, which is why I applied for the PhD programme.
Ryder Taff, USA (MSci Maths and Philosophy )

My experience here at Bristol so far has been amazing. I love the people that I have met, and the opportunities for things to do within the university and on my own time.
