Hide AdSimon said: “I’m hoping this experience will widen my career opportunities as I’m not sure what I want to do in the future, but one possibility is setting up my own business in the biological sector, and this can only help achieve that. I’ve never been away from home for this long before, but I’m really looking forward to it. There is so much going on at the moment, it’s absolutely hectic – but I’m really excited for the months ahead.”
The British Council, the UK’s international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations, manages Study USA.
