Danni Sun Second year

Postgraduate student

Hi, I'm Danni Sun and I studied Second year within Chemistry at the University of Southampton.

The University offers a great learning environment, especially for masters students who study in the chemistry department.

During my undergraduate studies, I have always wanted to pursue a higher degree abroad to engage in further academic studies and broaden my horizon. Fortunately, I gained an opportunity to study at masters level at the University of Southampton.

The University of Southampton offers a great learning environment, especially to master students who study in the chemistry department. During my masters study, I found my research project helped me to learn things independently, and the knowledge I learned the lectures contributed to my understanding of my research.

I really enjoy the research life in the chemistry department - both the staff and the other students are very friendly. During my masters study, I spent most of my time in the lab, and life was always colourful. I shared my feelings with my colleges and they help me overcome being home sick. We are close as a family. I get most of my energy from their encouragements.

Now, I believe that my research experiences in my masters study have given me a good starting point to do what I want and I am happy that I gained an opportunity to continue to study in the chemistry department as a PhD student. I am very interested in my current project and I believe this further study will make me a better person and will help me spend my life more efficiently.

My current plan is try my best for the rest of my PhD programme, and hope to find a job relating to my research.
