Name: Dami
Course: BEng Chemical and Biological Engineering
Nationality: Nigerian
What was your favourite subject in school?
I enjoyed maths and
chemistry.
How did you decide what degree course to take?
I have a thing for problem solving.
Initially I was debating on either forensic chemistry, mathematics or
chemistry. While I was researching these 3 degree programs, I came across
chemical engineering. I was excited as it involves both maths and chemistry.
What advice would you
give to people about to choose a university course?
Do lots of research, there are many degrees out there. Make sure it is
along the line of your interest because you might get frustrated sometimes;
your interest will make you stay enthusiastic.
What inspired you/Who
inspired you to follow this route?
The continuous study of both maths and chemistry through this route.
What do you particularly
enjoy and why?
I enjoyed the global engineering challenge week. It was like
experiencing a glimpse of a life of an engineer. I was put in a group and given
a life situation in order to find a solution. Also, it is an opportunity to
meet new friends in other engineering discipline.
Best job/most fun/most
fulfilling/challenges.
So far, my favourite job would be conducting accommodation tours. I
enjoy doing this as I get to interact with prospective students; I discover
interesting things about people while doing this. Also, the pay is
motivating...haha!
How is studying your
subject or methods of learning different at university than at school?
There are less teaching hours at university compared to school. I attend
lab sessions weekly and reports must be submitted within a week prior to the
day of the lab session. I observe more self-study at university compared to
school.
What are your plans for
the future/dreams/goals?
At the moment, I am considering either working in a food, pharmaceutical
or oil and gas industry. Hopefully, I will own a small scale oil and gas
company in my home country. I plan to go on to masters degree after my
graduation.
What do you like to do
when you are not working on your degree?
I love volunteering in a young people’s environment. I am a huge fan of
sci-fi serial movies. I recently took up swimming classes and gym sessions.
