Pre-departure:
In November 2015 I was lucky enough to be invited to Oxford University, in Oxford England, to participate in a 2 week long Social Network Analysis course presented by their Social Psychology Department. The catch, however, was that I had less than a month to organise everything I needed for the trip. My supervisor and I approached the coordinators at the student exchange and mobility program to acquire the funding needed for this training course. They were extremely helpful and gave us everything we needed for the application process. I received support for this trip from the Psychology Department at Stellenbosch University, as well as my supervisor. Once my application for funding was submitted all I had to do was wait.
