The vibe at Goldsmiths was different, I just loved it! I knew that it felt like the one.

A vibrant atmosphere

Before visiting Goldsmiths for the first time, I had been to two other London universities, but as soon as I got off the train at New Cross, I could definitely feel the difference. I really liked the atmosphere, the aura and the community. The vibe at Goldsmiths was different, I just loved it! I knew that it felt like the one.

A friendly environment

I chose to study BSc Management with Marketing. I came to the course with fresh eyes and a fresh mind. From the very start, the people on the degree were so nice – everyone was so friendly and had an open mindset about wanting to get to know each other. It was really easy to make friends. 

Professional development

The Careers Service has been a great support during my studies. I have attended events they hosted to meet with different companies and recruitment agencies to hear about the various opportunities available. I also secured an internship, which was a very eye-opening experience, it really got me out of my comfort zone.

In terms of plans for the future, I want to stick to management – particularly in events or project management, where I can make the most of my organisational skills.

A changed mindset

Goldsmiths is full of opportunities and has changed my mindset. Goldsmiths has definitely made me more responsible. I feel more mature, and that I’ve gained confidence working as a Student Ambassador.

Advice for future students

My advice to anyone thinking of studying at Goldsmiths would be to take every opportunity you can. And put yourself out there – join clubs and societies if you have time for them, do the Student Ambassador scheme, and try to have a positive ‘yes!’ approach to everything.
