Matthaeus Menezes Assef
(BA International Politics and Climate Change)
Matthaeus was part of the international youth conference on climate change that works for the UN as part of his course and has also been in COP 26 and COP27 since he started!
What do you love about Aberystwyth and Aberystwyth University?
My friends and the sunset. The most fantastic thing in Aberystwyth is the sunset. The town is at the seaside so there is always a wonderful view by the end of the day. However, what I really love is all the people I met here and all my friends that I have. This is what I really love about Aber.
What have you enjoyed most about your course?
As I am learning two different topics, international politics opened my mind to understanding how the countries work with each other and the climate, how the world works and how it will be in the future because of the climate crisis. The combined courses can help me understand climate policies and how they shape international politics.
How did you find adjusting to life in Aberystwyth?
The town is lovely. I like here because it is small, so everything is near. Although I am from São Paulo and everything is so far, it is much easier to find here. The only problem is the cold weather, but I am Brazilian. On the other hand, I have warm blood, so it is my fault.
What advice would you give someone considering studying at Aberystwyth University?
My advice is to follow your heart if you want to study at Aberystwyth University. If your heart tells you to move to this beautiful little town, move. You will enjoy and be happy. I followed my heart, and I am glad every day to choose my course and have my friends around me every day.
Have you joined any student clubs or societies and what have you enjoyed about them?
I love the Erasmus society because there are people from everywhere and so much culture. It is one if not the best society. I also love the vegan one because I am vegan, and society always finishes with food, and who does not love food? It would be best if you went to both societies one day.
