"Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity, it was truly valuable and may be the highlight of university for me."
"I made many friends from several different countries such as America, Canada, Spain, Belgium, Scotland and Turkey."
"The opportunity to apply for the Go Global award was presented by my school. I was delighted to receive the funding from Queens University enabling me to travel and study in Berlin. I gained invaluable experience and skills from this opportunity."
"I had traveled before but this was my first time traveling alone which was a huge change and very scary to being with. I am very proud that I was able to do this by myself and I think its taught me so much independence and also that doing things alone can still be really fun."
"During my time at TU Berlin I designed, manufactured and launched a miniature satellite the size of a can within a team of 4 members."
"I was not expecting to embark on a sudden departure over the summer break to study in a monastery on the picturesque Tuscan hills of Italy. But these unexpected opportunites happen while procrastinating in the McClay, doing everything except completing my impending essay deadlines."
"I achieved a 1,0 according to the German grading system."
"During my course I was required to present several times a week. This allowed me to develop my presentation skils and I later became very comfortable presenting in front of a class. At the award ceremony two students from each course were chosen to present their project in front of all the TU Berlin summer school. I was chosen for my course."
"I have never travelled to mainland Europe before. Having only been to the UK outside of India, I was quite nervous to undertake the trip. Not knowing was aparticular point of fear and the visa process was extremely daunting. However, everything was extremely smooth; I was able to navigate myself just fine, communicate with locals since most of them spoke English, and was able to appreciate the varying cultural differences with an open mind. The experience has been thoroughly important for me since I have never been able to afford a journey like this on my own between paying my international student tuition fee and living espenses. Thus, I am grateful to the JetSet scholarship initiative for making this possible."
