Student Profile(s)
Misako Sano
It is a great moment in my life to be living and studying at the University of Bristol.
As a paediatric occupational therapist working with disabled children in Japan, I am interested in developmental psychology and the education for children with special needs as well as occupational therapy itself.
While I was looking for master courses in the UK I appreciated the kind and helpful reactions of this University’s staff. Even though I had never been in Bristol before, I felt like UoB could satisfy my desire to study abroad in order to expand my knowledge for my future career and my preferences to live in Southern England.
I have a very interesting life in Bristol both in terms of academic and social environment. There are many students from so many different countries, so you can talk to them and easily get to know different cultures, which was one of my purposes when I decided to go and live in a foreign country. Regarding the city of Bristol, I think it is a very convenient place to live as you can get almost everything you want within a 30-minute walk. Although I have not really got used to cold weather in winter, I love Bristol’s beautiful sky, fresh atmosphere and long daytime in spring and summer. Living in the UK is also an advantage for its geographic position. Actually I have already travelled to four countries in Europe during my holidays. I enjoyed in particular my trip to Sweden and Denmark with my Swedish flatmate during Christmas break as I could go to lovely Christmas markets, which cannot be found in Japan.
Studying in a foreign language is still challenging for me. Although I have to put extra effort in my work for both preparation and review, I have found that my course allows us to study with a well-balanced curriculum between theoretical and practical things. Our course has shifted from lectures related to basic scientific knowledge such as neuropsychology and cognitive science in the first term to classes, which require personal empirical expertise in the second term so that we have been able to improve our knowledge.
Furthermore, we have had opportunities to use our work experiences within our studies and to apply our accomplishments to our work as well.
I hope that this experience will contribute toward the growth of my field (Occupational Therapy) in the future.
