HEAR FROM A STUDENT

Jessica Geiger, Moreno Valley, California, USA

"The biggest draw was being taught by world leaders and I liked that this was a three-year course. I also have an Irish background and I wanted to get in touch with that part of my heritage. Lastly, Northern Ireland is such an ideal place to be if you’re interested in travelling."

Jessica studied for a BSc Honours in Psychology.
