Haixuan Wang MA Digital Culture and Communication

The university has been really supportive in many ways. Academically, they provided an introduction to the academic year and specific courses before classes started, which was really helpful. For career support, there are dedicated staff who offer advice on improving our CVs. There are also plenty of workshops available, covering things like time management, using reference management software, and more. Plus, our Student Union organise a variety of events every day, so there’s always something interesting to get involved in.
