1. Background
Hi!
My name is Aznie Othman and I am from Malaysia which is in Southeast Asia. Currently, I
am studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering and am in my second year. I am in the middle of a circuits and machines module. I have also joined the university’s football and
futsal societies. Besides that, I love singing and cultural dancing and
was able to perform at an International Cultural Evening organized by
the International
Students’ Committie. I have been a member of the International
Engineering Ambassador (IEA) scheme since my first year which has provided
me with many wonderful experiences across the university.
2. Why
engineering?
I have really enjoyed studying Physics since high school, playing around with electrical machinery really excites me and I am eager to
discover how these
incredible things work. I was inspired by my
brother who
is an electrical and electronic
engineer and I always found his work fascinating. I am planning to
work with him and expand his small company so it becomes more successful.
Moreover, electrical and electronic has been a demand in this highly technological world where the internet is everything.
3. Why UoS?
Apart from being voted the best Student Union in the UK, the UoS is most highly ranked for
my course. In addition to this, the style of teaching really suits my
needs. The Diamond building was established in 2015 and the facilities and equipment are first class . When
I started in my first year, I was one of the first students to be able to
operate the amazing machinery and use all the facilities. I was attracted to the UoS after reading many
excellent reviews by more senior students.
4. Teaching
and study methods
Throughout
the course students are helped by module tutors and lab
demonstrators and there are also many very approachable lecturers. In
addition to this, if you require more help with your course there are teaching aid centres where you can
just walk in and ask for assistance. Every first and second year student is
supervised by a personal tutor who
will help with any problems. Currently, in my second year, I am working on an industrial project with ARUP where I am able to apply the
theory I have learnt on my course.
5. The City
of Sheffield
Sheffield
has one of the most beautiful green cities which is
and surrounded by spectacular
countryside. The City Centre is perfect for
students and has everything you might need within easy reach. Sheffield is also
rated as one of the safest city in UK so going out at night has never been a problem. Living costs are pretty
reasonable compared to big cities like London and Manchester.
Nevertheless, the best thing about
Sheffield is the
friendliness of the people, which includes the locals and
internationals.
6. The Benefits of UoS
The UoS offers a wide range of courses especially in engineering, with all students having access
to the latest cutting edge facilities. In addition to
studying here students
can enhance their experience by choosing to join
a huge range of societies and
sports
to choose from. The
UoS promotes a healthy international spirit among
the
students, therefore as an international student, I have always felt welcomed to engage in all activities across
the University.
7. After my degree
I am planning to work with my
brother but
also maintain an interest in research and development particularly within the electronics sector. I hope to work on business proposals and
projects with other large companies
to broaden my network. I may also do some part time
lecturing or tutoring in Universities or colleges as I
have a strong passion for educating others.
8. Advice
Make sure
you research the course that you are interested in and select the one that you
believe you will enjoy
the
most. Find the most suitable accommodation, mentors and societies so you can make the most
of your student life in University of
Sheffield.
