The Guardian University Guide 2024
Starting my Master’s course was an exciting experience. The introductory sessions helped me to adapt to the new environment. I remember that I was concerned about my English proficiency and whether it would be sufficient for both socialising and comprehending the lectures.
Connecting with fellow students from diverse backgrounds, who were also encountering similar challenges, eased my worries and made me feel more comfortable.
The intensity of the modules was initially daunting, but I quickly adapted to the rigorous academic demands. As I became more immersed in the course, I also found the support from staff, and fellow students very helpful.Herman, MSc Communication and Signal Processing
