I have used multiple services provided by the University, and they are helpful. I have attended multiple career network workshops like CV writing, how to find a full-time job in the UK as a foreigner, amongst many that I attended. These workshops helped me learn about the job market scenario in the Uk and also helped me build a better CV for job applications. I also received a University of Birmingham Commonwealth scholarship, making it easier to pay for international student fees.

Transitioning from one country to another and getting immersed into the new crowd was one of the most significant achievements during this course, personally and academically. I was able to learn and unlearn many things along the way.

I was always drawn towards interdisciplinary studies, which is why I was automatically drawn towards this course because this course looked at mental health from different perspectives such as biological, philosophical, psychological, social and research.

I studied Liberal Arts in India before I started this course.

It’s okay if things do not work out a certain way, doing a master’s can be challenging at some point. It’s okay to take a step back whenever you feel things are not going your way.

The best thing about this course is that all the classes are interactive, and students are equally engaged in a classroom atmosphere. Everyone brings forward their opinion about the pre-reading materials and every time I listen to a different perspective about the same reading I get to learn something new.

I have always been interested in studying mental health and as a Liberal Arts student in undergraduate I did get a chance to specifically focus on mental health as a subject. Therefore, I was automatically motivated to pursue this course when I accidentally happen to discover this course online.
