Nationality: Bruneian
Hello!
I am Izza Haziqah Rosli, currently a second year student taking Systems and
Control Engineering here at University of Sheffield. Living almost the whole of
my life in Brunei Darussalam, I was really excited when I was being offered to
pursue my degree abroad. I have to admit that it was pretty scary at the
thought of embarking on a new journey without any family around, however
Sheffield has been really welcoming since the day that I arrived here.
Why did you choose UoS?
The
best university that we should choose is one that is ranked higher globally in
that specific course that we are interested in. In my opinion, ACSE department
in University of Sheffield offers the best research quality and this will be
really helpful in developing a student’s potential in exploring new inventions.
And now, since I am in my second year and nearly starting my second semester
soon, I haven’t regretted my decision even once!
Teaching and study methods at Sheffield
Most
of the lectures here in Sheffield do require efforts from the students in order
to achieve maximum understanding for that particular module. However, there is
a lot of guidance around that should be helpful – either by asking help from
the lecturer or by researching for more information from the university
libraries. I should hereby mention that the library (known as Information
Commons) is opened 24 hours daily, which is really amazing.
Your opinion on Sheffield as a city
Sheffield
is a city that offers the best of both worlds, to be honest. Known as the
greenest city around Europe, various landscapes that can be found are worth
visiting. Despite the amazing scenery, the city also provides a variety of
amusing entertainments, ranging from shopping at Meadowhall to visiting parks.
Moreover, it is a great place for students since living expenses are much lower
compared to other cities and public transportation is easily available the
moment you arrive in Sheffield!
Advice to a prospective student before
coming to Sheffield
One
of the things that students should always remind themselves is the purpose of
them coming here. This kind of reminder is really important in making sure any
kind of distractions won’t affect our studies. Time management and a good
balance between study and play ensures a good student lifestyle.
