Ava's Strathclyde Exchange Experience

Meet Ava

Ava is an undergraduate Business student from Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Australia. She joined the programme for one semester as part of her international exchange experience. Learn more about Ava's time at Strathclyde. 

What opportunities did Strathclyde present that were different to studying at your home university?

The sports union/ability to join clubs was one of the most exciting things about Strathclyde for me. Being part of the mountaineering society was extremely rewarding and I made so many great friends, as well as getting to see truly beautiful parts of Scotland!

Did you have the opportunity to travel elsewhere on your exchange?

Yes, I travelled all around Scotland, and travelled Europe before and after my semester started.
What is your favourite memory of your exchange?

Becoming so close with my flatmates on campus, being in the mountaineering society, Glasgow nightlife

How has exchange impacted your life? Would you consider living abroad again?

It made me super capable of living independently and being financially independent. It strengthened my love of travelling and making new friends from all over the world. I loved my exchange so much and miss it every day now that I am home.

Absolutely I'd consider living abroad again!
