My name is Maria and I am an international student in Stockholm, Sweden. I travelled to Sweden from Athens, Greece, to study biomedicine at the Karolinska Institute. I chose this degree at this place because it is one of the best 50 universities in the world for life sciences.

While I was still at school, I came across an advertisement for Finnish upper secondary school chemistry competitions. I decided to participate, and I performed quite well.  

Due to my success in the competition, I received an invitation to Finland’s Chemistry Olympiad training, where Finnish upper secondary school students were prepared for the International Chemistry Olympiad.

I’m currently studying a postgraduate degree in humanities at the University of Manchester in the UK. Before that, I was an undergraduate student at Western University in Canada. I ended up doing five years of undergraduate studies because I decided to do a six-month exchange at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland during my fourth year.
