Former student
MA in Classics and Ancient History
“I learnt about the University of Bristol when I met one of the Professors at a conference in Greece. I was finishing my undergraduate studies and wanted to continue at postgraduate level. My main interests are myth and religion and the Professors I had as an undergraduate, advised me that Bristol University is one of the best in those fields. I also met one of University’s representatives who answered all the questions I had, a fact that really contributed to my decision, as I had never left my country before.
“The University offers courses in many subject areas - in my case Classics and Ancient History - which allows students to contribute to the expression of different opinions. The most amazing thing is that in every course there is always something new to research and discuss. Each of the Professors helps you with anything you need and the postgraduate coordinator is especially helpful in solving any problems or worries we have.
“I live in the university’s accommodation which gives me the opportunity to meet people from around the world. Bristol is one of the best places as it combines nightlife and culture. I love the fact that I can walk anywhere I want as many places are close to the university. I especially like going to the park and the Downs, where I can relax, and also going for drinks or coffee with my friends. The people here are very friendly and helpful - if they see you with a map looking for a place they help you by showing the way. I have also had the opportunity here to listen to different kinds of music and enjoy my leisure time with the friends I have made.
“I really advise new students, either undergraduates or postgraduates, who are thinking of attending to classes at Bristol University to come, as they will find both qualified academic staff and social activities where they can enjoy themselves. I am going to apply for a PhD, as the Postgraduate Office has informed us of some funding opportunities with deadlines coming up in the next months
“The University of Bristol is an experience that enhances your cultural, social and academic life if you allow yourself to become part of it. It is the best choice for me to take. I am still exploring new places and academic opportunities I did not have access to before coming here.”
