"At first, I was expecting to have to memorise theory, however, I really started to enjoy the practical aspects of the classes and I feel I have learned how to be business-ready. My friends who remained in Italy studying the classic subjects are knowledgeable about different theories but are rather inexperienced when it comes to business practice."
" London as the capital has plenty of resources. From galleries and museums to east London warehouses, the city encourages different cultures."
" The University is very inclusive and staff and lecturers are always available and ready to help. There are also great facilities at London Met. I loved going to the library, especially during my undergraduate degree! "
