“From October 9th 2022 to June 16th 2023, I have had one of the best experiences in my entire life.” – Gaia
We are thrilled to bring you the latest updates from Gaia. She shares her immediate emotions upon completing our International Foundation Programme in a heartwarming letter.

“It’s over; I’m back in Italy. How do I feel? Well, I have no idea!
During the flight back home, I was literally swamped with mixed feelings. I kept thinking, wondering, and planning until I fell asleep. Once I landed, I breathed in the Italian air, and a wave of heat hit me. I was still unconscious, dazed, and unprepared to return to life in Viareggio. Right now, I want to take my own time to relax and have fun with my family and my Italian friends.”
At the end of last year, Gaia applied to five universities (with guaranteed access to at least one of them, thanks to our university partnerships) and received four offers from Brunel, East London, Kingston, and Coventry Universities – all related to Fashion-Journalism, Media, and Communication.
In June 2023, she successfully completed our International Foundation Programme, undertaking final exams for each subject (Communication, Politics, Law, Maths, and Statistics).
Gaia says: “To be honest I don't have yet a clear idea what to do next, because I am also considering Italian universities. It is hard to decide, both sides have pros and cons, and my mind does not exactly know where I would like to continue my studies.”
Below is a short snippet from a letter we received from Gaia:
I've met numerous students like myself, with whom I spent all my leisure time. Even though we are not all together anymore, we still keep in touch through WhatsApp groups and Instagram.
Thanks to this international experience, I was able to discover new ethnicities and make new friends. Regarding friendships, I can proudly say I have Turkish, Arabic, Brazilian, Chinese classmates, and many other friends from all over the world.
Some of my other favourite highlights include:
I fully immersed myself in London's culture, striving to be like a sponge, absorbing and capturing as much as possible from this vibrant city.
Even though I may decide not to come to study at a university in London, I will always carry this adventure in my heart. So, see you soon!? Whether as a traveller or as a student.
Goodbye London, it was an immense pleasure!
Sincerely,
Gaia from Tuscany (Viareggio), 20 years old, filled with boundless energy to travel and explore everything life has to offer.
