Angela Sobhieh is studying an MRes in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
“I chose Imperial because it is one of the best places in the world to study AI and turn ideas into real action.
At Imperial, the research is world class, the resources abundant, and there are lots of opportunities to collaborate across departments and industry.
What I love most about Imperial and London are the people, diversity, pace, and the constant exchange of ideas across cultures and backgrounds.
The CMA CGM Excellence Fund for Education scholarship removed a huge financial barrier and gave me the freedom to focus fully on learning.”
