I was majorly persuaded by the experience of my supervisor, Professor Zsolt Demetrovics, who is one of the leading researchers in the field of responsible gaming. More importantly, I found Zsolt to be very accommodating and eager to listen to my research plans. In addition, my desire to do research studies in a multi-cultural environment was my other consideration. However, Gibraltar offered much more, being a city with uniquely desirable weather, amazing geographical features, and proximity to the UK, Europe, and Africa.
