I studied in China as an undergraduate student.

I really love the life in small town, which is quite peaceful.

I was funded by the Chinese government in 2015 when I was an undergraduate student. (I studied in Loughborough University as an exchange student in 2015.) And I received a 25% discount of the postgraduate tuition fee in 2016.

The lab. The computer science school provides really nice devices and computers to support our studies.

When I was an undergraduate student, I need to focus on the “scope” of my studies. For example, to learn about computer science, I needed to learn the knowledge of hardware devices, software programming, controlling, circuitry, networks, etc. However, when I become a postgraduate student, I must find a certain “direction”, like AI, or network security.

In the morning, I will have lectures. In the afternoon, I will do the practical part, like labs. In the evenings, I will do some sports, like swimming or running (you know, Loughborough has really good facilities). Sometimes, I will do some job hunting through the Loughborough careers network. My daily life is simple!

I really love swimming. Sometimes I will do some volunteer jobs in the student union activities. I love travelling, I will go to other European countries during the holiday (when the ticket is cheap).

I was studying hardware when I was an undergraduate student. I want to learn more programming skills. Another thing is I found I am quite interested in artificial intelligence (I saw the TV series WestWorld).

I would like to find a job in an internet company, like doing IT consulting, cause I love communication with the customers. Maybe I will try to find an internship in London firstly.

You need to study something that you really love to do. Then just insist on doing it.
