"I would say that I’m using my course to find the career that would best suit my skills. As I already enjoy my course my hope is that it will lead me to a career that can allow me to apply everything that I have learnt from my course and hopefully enjoy it just as much."

"Going to NTU changed my life because it has not been just an academic journey but also a process of personal growth. At NTU, there is always something to do and it is important to take time to make friends and explore new hobbies and sports."

My NTU story: How joining student societies helped me settle into university life
"Don’t be scared to join a society or sports club solo. Remember, many students attend these events alone, as they want to connect and make new friends just like you."
My NTU story: How doing a work placement at university helped me grow professionally and personally
"I would highly recommend you to do a placement year (depending on your course), it doesn’t matter if the placement year is one year or three months long. It builds your personality and professional skills."
My NTU story: How my family helped me achieve my dream at university
"I would suggest you don't worry if your family is not supporting your choice at the start. Show them the path you have chosen for yourself and how committed you are. Tell them about your dreams and work hard to achieve them."
My NTU story: What I learnt studying a bachelors and masters degree at NTU
"Reach out to your tutors, use the academic resources, rely on your peers. Additionally, make use of the study facilities afforded to students; every building has study areas, there is also the libraries as well as the Postgraduate Centre for those studying a postgraduate course."
