Personal Development 

From this experience I gained new beautiful friendships and I enriched my cultural and academic knowledge through learning different methods of analysing problems and finding solutions.

Academic Development 

This experience enriched my academic knowledge and methods of learning as my course was taught in a philosophical way, allowing space for critical analysis in class. Through those class discussions I was able to gain a lot of knowledge on how to approach an issue from different angles which has been a very beneficial outcome and learned skill for my future career path.
