"My best memories at university so far are the ones I gathered in the trips and projects that the University of Bradford has organised: short-term study trips, exchange programs, entrepreneurship projects with partners from countries as far as Qatar, Bahrain and China. They all changed my perspective on the world and encouraged me to become a better informed, more sensible global citizen."
