STUDENT STORY

MEET LILI

LILI BREWIN, TELEVISION AND RADIO PRODUCTION STUDENT, tells us all about her experience studying abroad as part of her course at Salford.

It’s an interesting talking point for job interviews, as employers like to see that you’ve done something out of your comfort zone.

Lili Brewin

“I decided to take part in a study experience abroad because I have always been interested in seeing how the education system differs in America and in association with TV production, which is a large industry in both the UK and the US.

Being exposed to a completely new education system enabled me to gain a lot more confidence. Living in another country for four months, away from the comforts of home, made me more confident and improved my communication and interpersonal skills. I have also gained a lot of friends whom I will have for life, not only from America but all over the world (including Japan, Taiwan, South Africa, and Venezuela). Meeting these people also gave me a better understanding of different cultures and lifestyles around the world.

Any student who is considering studying or working abroad should do their own research on the university best suited to their studies, ask questions to students who have gone through the process themselves, and make the most of the support provided at the home university as well as the host. I learned so much from the lecturers, students and the university campus as a whole in America and it’s an interesting talking point for job interviews, as employers like to see that you’ve done something out of your comfort zone and studied in another surrounding for a while.”
