Course:
BEng Chemical Engineering
Nationality:
Nigerian
I am
Chimmakwa Gaius-Assor, I am from Nigeria. I am currently in my second year
studying Chemical Engineering.
I chose to
study engineering because of the practical nature of the course and how easily
it can be visualised. My love for Maths and Chemistry influenced my decision to
study Chemical Engineering. Chemical Engineering is also a very flexible course
and there are many career paths you can follow as a result of studying Chemical
Engineering.
The
University of Sheffield is a highly ranked university in Chemical Engineering
and it has an amazing student’s union, this is evidenced by its ranking as the
best in the UK for the past 5 years. There are lots of facilities, especially
at the recently completed Diamond building, that are at students’ disposal and
have been very useful for me. I like the various teaching methods available at
the university, there are normal lectures which are sometimes recorded -to
serve as additional guide and reference for the actual lectures- and also the
newly introduced online videos.
At the
University of Sheffield, there are so many opportunities to put theoretical
knowledge into practice. As part of my course, there are lab sessions organised
to provide further understanding of lectures. There are also the Global
Engineering Challenge (in first year) and Engineering You’re Hired (in second
year) where you work with students from other engineering disciplines to solve
real life problems.
I chose to
study at the University of Sheffield because there is something for everyone. There
are loads of things you can be involved in from societies to volunteering and
jobs on campus. I was involved with the 2016 orientation week and it was an
amazing experience for me, I met a lot of people and had an opportunity to be
of help to many new students arriving in Sheffield.
One of the
benefits of studying at the University of Sheffield is that they are constantly
looking for ways to make living and learning better for students like;
increasing the number of study spaces available to students (the Diamond) and
the ongoing project to improve the public spaces with an overall aim to create
a safe and high quality walking and cycling routes linking the campus.
After my
degree, I would like to get a masters in cosmetic science and business
management as I want to work in the cosmetic industry. I am highly interested
in learning more about the application of chemistry in the creation of quality
makeup and skincare products that are harm-free both to individuals and the
environment. I hope to be able to explore that interest during the course of my
career.
