Student Profile(s)
Valeria Motta
I studied Philosophy at University of Buenos Aires. It is a very intellectually vibrant and culturally diverse place but I wanted to expand my experiences and learning horizons so I decided to have an experience in an English institution. I worked for three years to save for my course and then set off to this new adventure!
I chose Bristol for its reputation of excellence in the Philosophy of Science field. I first came to an open day organized by the Philosophy Department and spoke to professor James Ladyman. I participated in a seminar where I could see how involved in the philosophical discussion all the professors from the department are. That has inspired me greatly and I instantly felt part of the community.
The University of Bristol is a place to find inspiration, support and beauty (in the many different senses of the word). It's there, and it is up to you, to grasp and enjoy it. Learning is a way of achieving happiness. It is worth the effort.
I love the fact that there are always interesting seminars, reading groups and different thought-stimulating activities across different departments to which everyone is welcomed to attend. This allows for a multidisciplinary education which I find very valuable.
The city is very diverse, I love the fact that there are different areas each one with its own character. It is a place that's also full of green spaces, nice cafes and restaurants. There is a wonderful free-spirited feel about it. It is an inspiring place!
I really like Cotham House which is our Philosophy Department. I also adore the fact that all the university buildings are so close to each other and surrounded by trees. The buildings themselves are of great beauty.
After completing my course, I would like to remain in academia. At Bristol, I have been able to observe how the best philosophers do their job. I have gained research skills and have been given the training that has made me feel confident that I can do this.
I find this a place where if you work hard enough, you will get results. That is empowering.
