Choosing Materials as my course of study is the best choice I have ever made in my life. Before even applying to university, I thought to myself that I would like to make a connection between different subjects and learn the beautiful combination between theory and real-life application.

Materials is the perfect course for me... I am constantly awed by the enthusiastic lecturers as they always teach to inspire us. Science is about always being curious about the unknown and having an unique understanding of what is known. I feel that the approach in the Department of Materials is to teach exactly what science is about.

Other than that, it is always fun living in such a vibrant city as London.
