Your Qualifications
Emma (Staffanstorp, Sweden) – International Relations
“The ELT course gave me a chance to make friends with people I might otherwise never have met, and, thanks to the trips arranged by the ELT department, go to places I might otherwise never have gone. The four weeks also served well to get me settled into St Andrews before the start of the semester and thus allowed me to ‘hit the ground running’ once I began my degree course.”
