Hello everybody !
It’s almost the end of our experience in Dundee. So, this is the assessment of my personal experience.
Did you enjoy your semester in Dundee?
Yes, this semester was an awesome experience! I’ll never forgot this, it was fantastic and so rewarding! I think it’s the best part of my studies.
What did you enjoy the most?
I enjoyed all my trip! To start, I like the academic system which enable us to have time to do sport, to go out, and to visit the country. I think what I enjoyed the most was all the trips in Scotland. Scotland it’s a very beautiful country and you can see so many beautiful things: mountains, lakes, the amazing landscape with its cliffs, the old cities…
I particularly enjoyed the trip ain Arbroath Cliffs, it was extraordinary and so beautiful, I think it was the most beautiful things I seen in Scotland.

But I really enjoyed my trip in Edinburgh too. Edinburgh is a very beautiful city with lots of things to do. You can walk in the old city where there are lots of shops, you can visit monuments, museums, the castle and more, and you can also climb some hills. I recommend especially to visit the National Scottish Museum which is very entertaining and to climb the hill to the Arthur’s seat where you have the most beautiful view of Edinburgh.

How did you like the courses?
I really like the Scottish academic system, I prefer it than the French system.
I liked my 3 courses which met my expectations. The course I preferred was International Financial Accounting because it’s lots of calculations and my professor was very good.
Would you recommend spending a semester in Dundee?
Of course! Everybody should spend a semester abroad, it’s the best experience for a student!
Today English is very important, so you have to speak a good English and the best method to improve your English is to go in an English-speaker country. Moreover, it’s very good when recruiters see you spent a semester abroad in your CV.
I think Dundee is a good choice for a semester abroad. Dundee is situated in an English-speaking country so if you want to improve your English it’s a good point. But the main reason why you should choice Dundee is because Scotland is an amazing country. People in Scotland are very nice, and it’s a so beautiful country with lots of fantastic things to see!
What did this experience bring to you?
I decided to do a semester abroad principally to improve my English. And I think I really get it better, especially in oral comprehension and at speaking.
Then, this experience allowed me to discover the beautiful country of Scotland and the Scottish culture. And a semester abroad permit the open-mindedness that is, I think, a good point.
To finish, this experience develop the independence and the socialization. Indeed, you are alone in a city you don’t know, with people you don’t know who speak a language you don’t speak really well. So, you have to speak to people to ask for help and also to make friends, so you can’t be shy. And, you have to manage by yourself in everyday life and also when you organize travels in Scotland. So, this experience really allows me to improve my independence.
To conclude, a semester abroad it’s an amazing experience that I would recommend to everybody. Dundee was a really good choice. And this experience bring me lots of good points, especially to improve my English that was my reason to leave.
I hope I made you want to do a semester or a year abroad.
Bye Bye ! 🙂
