Fay Jurriaanse

“Studying abroad is a daunting, but infinitely rewarding experience that I believe should be available to anyone who wishes to become more acquainted with themselves and the world around them.”

Education

Fay graduated from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh in July 2024. She received a first-class bachelor’s degree with honors in theater and film. For her bachelor’s dissertation, she wrote a screenplay adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s playscript Peer Gynt.

Travel Experience

Fay is originally from the Netherlands. During high school, at age 17, she went on a high school exchange year to the U.S., in Washington State. There, she stayed with a host family and experienced the American high school life. This experience inspired her to continue her studying abroad journey and pursue her undergraduate degree in Scotland in 2020.

Did You Know?

Fay performed in various musicals in her home town in the Netherlands. Her favorite role to play was Donna in Mamma Mia!
