Fascinating and challenging

“Ever since I started my degree I’ve been thinking and talking about spending some time out of the country on exchange. I always had UChile as my first preference, and I was lucky to be accepted almost straight away. I also qualified for a University grant, which paid for my ticket there and back. After my exchange finished, I travelled through Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. I highly recommend that you make time to travel after your exchange.”Simon Liley Bachelor of ScienceThe University of ChileSantiago, Chile
