Prof Matthew Freeman, Head of the Dunn School of Pathology at the University of Oxford offers his advice to young people, specifically with reference to Brexit. Whilst he still hopes that the process may not be fully implemented, he speaks of how the Dunn School and wider academic community are doing everything they can to ensure the continued European and international nature of the University of Oxford. Matthew speaks of the importance of travelling abroad for young people, and how this can open up new opportunities for study and work, as well as broadening their horizons in how they perceive the world.
