‘My journey as a postgraduate student at the University of Hull’

My journey as a postgraduate student at the University of Hull, pursuing a Master’s degree in AI and Data Science with a prestigious Chevening Scholarship, has been a life-changing experience. The combination of an amazing academic environment and vibrant campus life has allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. Whether it’s joining a sports club or exploring the city’s cultural gems, there is an extracurricular activity for everyone. I played football every weekend with students and alumni, which helped me to build a lasting network with like-minded leaders, friends, peers, and professionals.

With a PhD in physics, I found that faculty members are not only experts in their fields but also incredibly supportive, encouraging a culture of curiosity and innovation. The diverse courses and hands-on projects in classes have equipped me with practical skills and knowledge, preparing me for a successful career in Research, AI, and Data Science.

The campus offers a favourable environment for study and relaxation. With free access to student kitchens anytime and boasting one of the largest furnished libraries in the UK. Through various cultural events and international student meetups, I have had the chance to learn about different traditions and perspectives. This experience has broadened my global outlook and made my stay truly enriching. The friendships I have made on campus are lifelong, and the support network among students is incredibly strong.

Through tailored career counselling and CV workshops, I have gained the confidence and skills necessary to navigate the job market successfully. The Chevening network is opening doors to my next professional journey and numerous opportunities worldwide. I am confident that the knowledge and experiences I have gained here will serve as a strong foundation for my future endeavors in the field of AI and Data Science.
