Why did you choose to study Science at Melbourne?
I chose to study science at the University of Melbourne because the Melbourne Model offered me an opportunity to pursue my interest in computer science, but combined it with breadth subjects.
What has been the best thing about studying at Melbourne so far?
Studying at Melbourne so far has been wonderful and exciting. I have learnt many new things, made new friends and am learning to live independently in a city with many different cultures. One of the best things about my course so far has been the study group, Science 101, which has really been helpful as a new university student.
What do you hope to do when you finish your course?
I hope to apply my knowledge in science to the real world, perhaps as a programmer. However, I would also consider taking the Master of Engineering in software to further my studies.
