Venesa is planning to pursue her studies in Neuropsychology BSc. She has received offers from the University of Toronto, University British Columbia, Queens Mary University London, University of Nottingham, University of Bath, Kingston University London, and the University of Manchester.

My university plans for after graduation consist of studying Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics (PPLE) at the University of Amsterdam. To receive this offer, I had to get through several rounds of admissions such as an essay, a financial and study plan, a test and an interview, which results in only 200 applicants being selected amongst the thousands of applications.

My plan for next year is to either study at Yonsei University or Hanyang University. If I choose to study in Yonsei I will be taking the integrated science and engineering division as my major. However, If I choose to study at Hanyang I will be taking information systems as my major.
