"I was born in Nigeria, grew up in Germany and I am now living in London studying Education, Culture and Society at Goldsmiths. I was fortunate to have experienced and seen how people live by different means and different societies, which has defined me as a person. I was looking for a course that would complement these aspects of myself and help me understand other cultures.

Coming to Goldsmiths I noticed very quickly that no student is the same and therefore I never felt alienated in any way. I found the beauty in the diversity of students that I have met and was amazed at how much I have learned from my peers, as everyone had a different story to tell.

Lectures for ECS are very interesting and not typical, as we are encouraged to engage in discussions and learn from each other. The diverse structure of the course has been very beneficial for me, as it touches on various topics that are very relevant and encourages you to strive for your own individuality. Goldsmiths is a colourful place to be and makes learning exciting again."
