“I've really enjoyed meeting new people and visiting museums and galleries. At first, I was worried I wouldn't make friends or understand everything, but I've made some great friends and I'm learning so much. Studying fine art here has really helped me express myself through my artwork. It's helped build my confidence and improve my skills. This programme has really opened my eyes to new possibilities for my future career. I'm so thankful for this opportunity to study what I'm passionate about. It's been an amazing experience so far.”
