My first year in the Department of Materials at Imperial has been exceptional: the academic challenge that comes with every lecture keeps me intellectually stimulated, while the hands-on laboratory sessions allow me to put my theoretical knowledge into use to solve real-world problems.
While the field of Materials Science and Engineering itself is exciting, what I like the most is the way the subject is taught here: the people lecturing you are likely the ones at the forefront of world-class research, and they always make an eff ort to integrate their research expertise into their lectures, making the subject relevant to our daily lives. The lecturers and professors are also extremely approachable, allowing me to develop meaningful relationships and mentorships with them.
Aside from the academics, I love to hang out with friends and participate in socials. I love that there are many avenues at Imperial where students can explore their passions in even the most niche fields (badminton, ice-skating, drone-flying, you name it!)... I am happy and excited to be here.
