Why did you choose to study at the University of Southampton?

I chose to study at the University of Southampton because its reputation in engineering is unmatched. Also, Southampton is always ranked one of the top universities in the UK. Additionally I chose Southampton due to the 2+2 course option where I get to spend my first two years in Southampton’s Malaysia Campus, which offers a very high staff to student ratio and a more personal experience at a fraction of the cost.

What were your first impressions of the University of Southampton Malaysia (UoSM)?

My first impression was that all the members of staff were easy going and approachable, which really helped me to settle into my new life. In addition, although my course seemed to be challenging, I was able to polish my skills and progress.

What was your favourite spot at the Malaysia Campus?

As an Electrical and Electronic engineering student, I always found the EEE lab to be the favourite spot on campus, not only for me but for all my friends and course-mates, mostly due to the fact that I am able to work there 24/7 and benefit from the state-of-the-art facilities at any time.

Would you recommend the University of Southampton to other students?

I would highly recommend the University of Southampton – both the Malaysia and UK campuses, to ambitious students who are looking to kick-start their career. Not only due to the university’s reputation but also due to a wide international community at the university and the friendly staff who will offer you help both on the academic and personal sides of your journey.
