Diana's story
Vacation travel - Anesu's story
"I travelled to Malaysia and visited one of our partner Universities, Sunway. I got to see how another University worked and met other students. I learned about their culture and explored the different aspects of their society. By going on this trip I developed my global thinking, independence and became more self-aware. Experiencing Malaysia was even more incredible than I could have imagined. I can't imagine leaving university without it being part of my Lancaster journey."
Field trips to Paris and New York
Geography student Daniel spent a summer in Zagreb on an Erasmus exchange and has taken part in field courses in Paris and New York, during his degree.
