However, lack of funding for his Master’s means he is taking a gap year to work and consider his options for the future.
He said: “I’ve had offers from five European Universities - the University of Tampere, University of Turku, The University of Maastricht, University of Flensburg and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
