It’s applying mathematics to pricing things like options and shares; it’s been really interesting!

They see it in a more human way, looking at the whole human experience

I study engineering at home so it’s really different and I’m enjoying it so far . My favourite thing is the people you meet; the chance to meet people from all around the world – it’s such a good opportunity that’s hard to come by.

I chose the module because I’m thinking of starting a business so I need a few ideas regarding start-ups which I knew I would get on this module. Plus I read about the module tutor and could tell she is very knowledgeable. We get to learn a lot; we have to work in a group with students from different countries and create a business to present to the rest of the class in the last week. We have four groups of students from different countries and it’s really fun!

I see a lot of value in law and social justice and having an understanding of it, but that’s something I haven’t been able to learn at university so far due to my two majors being Medical Sciences and French. I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to develop an understanding of the legal system and how social justice works. It’s definitely lived up to my expectations; taught in detail and in the three weeks we’ve learned so much. I’ve learnt about things like pro bono and the pros and cons of different concepts and the role of lawyers in society.

I chose this module because I’m studying a finance degree with business and economics back at home so I thought I could reinforce my macroeconomic knowledge by coming here. The teaching is similar to back home in Mexico: the teachers are open to questions and interact with the students. The module has definitely lived up to expectations our teacher is really prepared in her subject and I’ve learned a lot whilst here. It’ll also benefit me in the sense that I have a more clear idea of what I want to do when I graduate and start my career.

The professors were wonderful and we had a lot of guest lecturers who came in and talked about their research and how they go about it. The most interesting was a talk we had on cancer and the prevalence of cancer in major cities, which ties to smoking … and I’ve done a lot of research back home on smoking and cancer so it was interesting to learn about it in this demographic.

I chose this module because I have a particular interest in neurology and the brain but, as medical students, we don’t really see it in the same psychological perspective. So I was a bit curious about how they would tackle that stuff. We started by looking at the general biology of the brain; the different areas and functions. Now we are looking at what can go wrong, e.g. ones that affect language and vision and now we will look at mood disorders and psychiatry . There’s so much to learn in such a short length of time!

UCL’s response to Coronavirus (COVID-19)

In Italy all of my exams are focussed on law so I wanted to broaden my studies through an international perspective. We have students from Italy, Hong Kong, France, Taiwan and India so it’s great to get fast cash payday loans Martinsburg together and discuss things with people from different backgrounds. The best thing on the module has been the opportunity to conjugate theoretical lessons with practical experiences through excursions, for example to Amnesty International and the FSO. So, it’s been interesting to see, in practice, how these rights work.
