Year abroad: Italy

Hi, my name is Anna and I’m a BA Geography student studying Sociology at the Università degli Studi di Padova in Italy. My exchange year has been a challenge to myself to step outside my comfort zone and explore a different culture. Being able to better my Italian language skills has been the most valuable component of my exchange, which wouldn’t have been possible without living and studying in Italy.

Hi, I’m Sun and I’ve been on exchange at Chulalongkorn’s Faculty of Arts in Bangkok, Thailand since August last year!

It’s been really fun to improve my Thai while living abroad. Getting to reconnect with my culture has also been amazing. Travelling has been so so so fun!  I would recommend studying abroad to everyone!

Durham Global Week is coming up! We’ll be holding a range of events from 24th February to 3rd March to celebrate Durham’s global culture, so come along and get involved!
