Mushiga Balan - International Exchange Student - Taylor’s University, Malaysia

"My experience at LTU was fun! I would definitely recommend the University to incoming exchange students.

I say this because everyone was very welcoming and friendly, I made so many local and international friends who I still keep in touch with even though I’m back in Malaysia."

Tan Rou Yun - International Exchange Student - Taylor’s University, Malaysia

"LTU's learning environment is very good, and it treats international students very kindly. There are many activities, so I have a lot of wonderful experiences. I also met a lot of friends, we travelled and participated in activities together.

I am very grateful to have the opportunity to come to the UK as an exchange student, these experiences are a great life memory for me.”
