PASSION FOR DESIGN AND TRAVEL INSPIRED PANTRAT TO COME TO DERBY

Pantrat Krupanyamat from Thailand chose to study in the UK mainly because, as well as the finding the course that he wanted to study, it’s in Europe and close to many other countries he’d like to travel to such as France, Italy and Spain. He also found that the University admissions team was friendly and helpful, giving out relevant information about the course and city.

Making new friends

Being part of the University’s clubs and societies really helped Pantrat with finding new friends and meeting new people, especially during the first month.

The opportunity to learn the globally recognised English language at the same time as his course is one Pantrat’s main benefits for studying in the UK, as well as meeting lots of people from other parts of the world thanks to the UK’s popularity for international students.

Broadening horizons

Before graduation, Pantrat is planning to take a sandwich year to gain work experience which he hopes will help him to find future employment as an interior designer overseas in the UK, US or Australia. “Living abroad and travelling around the world will definitely help me widen my global perspective and learn more about everything from culture to art and design.”
