There is so much support and knowledge here!
After studying abroad in London previously, I fell in love with Britain. I knew I wanted to come back to study further and was searching for a course that would appropriately couple my Industrial and Interaction Design undergraduate degree from Syracuse University in New York. Always aspiring towards the role of a design researcher and hopefully, a future Design Manager, Design Strategy and Innovation was the perfect fit. I knew that it would give me the skills I desired to reach my future goals.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT STUDYING AT BRUNEL?
Studying at Brunel University has exposed me to the business side of the design world and has given me a new perspective of the level design can influence a company. I love the campus that has such a strong community, with everything you need nearby. There is so much support and knowledge here.
WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF THE UNIVERSITY ACCOMMODATION?
I am fortunate enough to be living in a studio flat and it is so nice to have everything I need in this beautiful living space, while being close to friends.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A NEW STUDENT AT BRUNEL?
For future students, I would recommend being as involved as you can. Also, always be sure to make time to be with friends and explore London. You learn so much by getting out there and visiting events and museums in the city.
WHAT SOCIAL ACTIVITIES ARE YOU INVOLVED IN?
I am involved in Brunel Active and love the community and facilities the gym provides.
HOW DO YOU PLAN TO USE YOUR DEGREE IN YOUR CAREER?
I plan to use my degree to further my potential career opportunities in design research, strategy, branding, and management. This will allow me to position myself in a variety of areas, coupling well with my undergraduate degree.
