Being an international student in a different country may feel a little daunting to begin with, but being a student in Liverpool means you get access to a city filled with cultural hotspots, musical venues and friendly faces.

I decided to study at LJMU because of the university’s reputation in Engineering and Technology, I also found the recruitment team and manager to be really helpful prior to starting at LJMU. 

My postgrad year has flown by, here are my favourite spots in the city that every international student should visit: 

• The docks are a must visit. Next to the River Mersey, a sunset walk will always cheer you up and relieve any stress. It is the perfect place to enjoy a Sunday afternoon outing with friends, or even to just chill alone and enjoy the view. 

• I am not normally a big fan of museums, but The World Museum is on a different level. Going from one floor to the next, you will see Maritime history, Egyptian and Pharaonic arts and mummies, Dinosaurs, prehistoric and wild animals as well as  the time and space museum. You can even take a picture with the astronauts, like I did here...
