Ahmed, Egypt
Current MA Digital Technologies, Communications and Education student
Learning to live and thrive outside my home country is a priceless life experience. From visiting museums like the Manchester Art Gallery to experiencing Egyptian Mummies in the Manchester Museum, there is always something interesting happening around town.
The city has such a rich history and culture that even after three months here, I’m still finding new favourite spots.”
