How has your education journey in Coventry University prepared you to enter the industry

Coventry University has exceptionally prepared me for a smooth transition from school to work by providing me with the skills necessary to succeed. I am exposed to modern day software tools that the tech industry is using. I have also became a more confident person in terms of presentation and communication, sharing my knowledge with my peers, and being independent.

What is the one positive incident that has impacted you during your journey with Coventry University

I became more confident and independent through the group projects. My classmates entrusted the role as group leader when we were doing a group assignment. This allowed me to be in charge of assigning each member a task, tracking the progress, and communicating with them (being the middleman communication between the lecturer and the team)

Can you describe your studying experience?

Fun and exciting! I get to explore various modern day software tools used in the industry and apply them for my assignments

How have the people that are with you at your graduation supported you in your university journey.

Their words of encouragement and care they provide me
Words of encouragement can be as simple as saying a ‘加油’/‘Fighting’ (some modules are very dry so I lose motivation sometime, their encouragement gave me the drive to clear my assignments)
As I spent many late night to complete my assignment, I neglected my health, so my parents took care of me by cooking me food and getting herbal tea
