IB is very challenging, but I think it supports your personality, especially by the subject CAS (Creativity, Action, Service). Moreover, you meet so many different people from different countries and also lets you think about very interesting topics, which are important for your daily life. All in all, I can say that IB is a very good programme and that it prepares me very well for my future.

Why did you choose this course?
I chose this course because it opens more doors to get a place in a good University all over the world. Also, I think it is a good choice because when you are not so sure what you want to do in your future, you still have all the opportunities to go to University to study what you would like to study.

What will you do next?
I intend to go to University to study Business Law. Admittedly, I am not sure if I want to stay here in the UK or whether I want to study in the USA or if I want to go back to Germany.

What advice would you give other students who are thinking of coming to the UK to study?
You should always be open to meet new people, whether they are from your home country or from other countries. Also, you should really try to integrate yourself into English society, because then it will be much easier for you to learn English.
