Institute of Psychiatry
King's College London
Being an Indonesian who has lived in Austria for a while, made me an individual who loves being in an international environment. Therefore, coming to London which is famous for its ‘melting pot’ of cultures was my first option and I love it! The College’s central location made it an even more attractive choice. The people that I meet, the variety of culture that I learn from my friends, and the international collaboration that I share on Campus, have become part of my life.
I came to King’s also for its worldwide reputation, especially the Institute of Psychiatry for its psychiatric research. Having an eclectic range of interests, such as psychology and human resources management, I found the Mental Health Studies course really interesting due to its interdisciplinary nature as it allows me to explore various subject areas. King’s has a good graduate environment and excellent facilities. Staff are very supportive and encouraging and being able to draw on their expertise has been particularly beneficial and motivating. I plan on staying here at King’s and to continue a PhD programme that can provide me with the research skills, academic networks and contacts that I need to ensure that job opportunities are available to me in the future.
