“For me, choosing a PhD programme meant taking into account both the academic expertise of the faculty and the kind of environment I would be joining. Both my supervisor and the faculty staff offered me support, helping me with my studies and with the procedures involved in undertaking a PhD abroad. I found both the academic guidance I needed and a sense of belonging in my day-to-day life.”
