My time at the University of Westminster definitely had its ups and downs. I realised upon attending class there that their style of teaching was vastly different from that of QUTS. I found Westminster\u2019s syllabus much less structured and as a result me and most other students were confused as to what learning expectations were in some of the classes I attended, meaning we constantly had to question our tutors and lecturers, this was a stark contrast to QUT where I feel like I constantly have access to the resources I need to understand and complete tasks. However, while I did not necessarily think the university of Westminster had the best structure, studying with them allowed me access to opportunities I do not think I would be granted otherwise. For example, during my time there I was granted the opportunity to work directly with charities and brands such as the RSPCA and John Lewis to perform tasks relevant to the field I want to breach into post-graduation. I also now have expanded my international network which was a goal I previously outlined in my previous letter. As mentioned above I now have people all over the globe which I can contact and discuss the broader business environment with, rather than just my local Australian Network.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another key part of exchange in London was the ability to travel to pretty much everywhere in Europe for a low price. I remember one of the best memories is when myself and two other Westminster students decided to take a weekend trip to Denmark and travel from one side to the other over the weekend. One of the best aspects of living in London is the ability to fly to all these amazing places for ridiculously low airfares and getting to experience a wide variety of cultures and places. I think overall in my time overseas I visited 18 countries through use of the cheap flight network and got to experience things I never would have been able to normally experience living here in Australia. I was still able to easily balance my studies while travelling and therefore was never overtly stressed. While travelling I also had the added benefit of having both my brother and sister travelling Europe at the same time as me, meaning I had the support of family while travelling and didn\u2019t miss home too much. I did miss Australia on occasions when London would be quite grey and cloudy and I missed the Australian sun, or when I was travelling and staying in Hostels with other people and missed the comfort of my own bed. However, the excitement of constantly being somewhere new and exploring filled me with excitement.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
