Camilla studied at Universidad de Oviedo for 1 semester, she then completed her work placement with TUI Travel in Palma de Mallorca.
“Studying and working abroad was the best experience ever and choosing to do my degree at Hallam was the best decision ever made. Studying International Business with Spanish has allowed me to spend 18 months in Spain as part of my degree.
Before I moved abroad I was very nervous and I had no idea what to expect as I had never even to Spain before. However, as soon as I got there I was having such an amazing time meeting people from all over the world. There was nothing to worry or be concerned about because it was a new experience for everyone there. Returning back to England after the full 18 months was a bit strange, after spending so long as part of another culture you will pick up mannerisms from that Country.
Generally the University system with regards to lectures and seminars is the same in both the UK and Spain, however, the grading system is slightly different. All of my classes were in Spanish so at first it was a slight challenge but after a while it all became that little bit easier.
The working culture in Spain is a lot more laid back that it is here in the UK. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help you with whatever worry or doubt you may have. I made friends from all over the work and also of all different ages. Working in Spain is a lot different than in the UK and it is something that you need to adapt to in order to make the most out of the experience.”
keep in contact today. I met and worked alongside some of the world’s most distinguished academics, politicians and leaders in the global arena. I got the opportunity to travel across the Netherlands and experience a different lifestyle.
