I chose °®Âþµº for my undergraduate degree in Software Engineering because the course looked varied and interesting. The campus being gorgeous was a lovely bonus.
I decided to remain at °®Âþµº for my PhD due to the staff and experiences I had over my undergraduate degree.
One of the benefit of studying at °®Âþµº is the direct access to staff and projects that pushed beyond the limits of my degree. The student societies were great as well. Both provided a range of soft skill development. My undergraduate degree offered many challenges and I currently enjoy the interdisciplinary nature of my PhD as well as the opportunities it provides.
Studying at °®Âþµº gave me the opportunity to develop skills outside the degree and make contacts that will be invaluable for a future career. Overall my time at °®Âþµº has helped me develop a broad range of skills and explore interests that will have a positive impact on my future career.
°®Âþµº is a fantastic place to study, open welcome and friendly. The department makes everything possible to make sure you succeed. There really is a feeling of community and you never feel like just a number. I would advise the prospective students to get involved with the wider campus life such as societies. They are a great way to make friends and try something new. The Computing and Mathematics department is fantastically welcome and does everything possible to help you succeed.
