Brunel University of LondonMedicineI am from Taiwan, and I am now a 3rd-year MBBS student at Brunel Medical School. My special interests in medicine include Immunology and Neurology. I chose to study Medicine because I love science and art, and Medicine is the perfect combination of both. I particularly love the Brunel MBBS Team-Based Learning model (TBL) as it guides my learning journey as a medical student very well. The early placement opportunity since Year 1 has been the most rewarding learning experience for me. Alicia
Brunel University of LondonPolitics and International RelationsHi there! I'm Alicia, a 3rd year International Relations and History student and an aspiring consultant and/or diplomat (still deciding!). I was born in London but moved to Uganda when i was 9, came back for university at 18. Choosing Brunel was an easy option for me as my sister was here too and she loved it! My experience here has been amazing, learnt a lot and made a lot of great connections. Feel free to ask me any questions that may cross your mind! Antony
Brunel University of LondonComputer ScienceHey there! I'm a third-year computer science student from Tanzania. When I'm not buried in code, you can find me on the football field, shooting hoops on the basketball court, or battling it out in online battle royale games—I'm a bit of a gaming enthusiast. I've also got a thing for cars, their mechanics and design fascinate me. What really excites me, though, is the idea of merging my interests with artificial intelligence. The thought of blending manual processes with AI tech gets me fired up. So, fellow future students, remember that your passions can lead you to exciting places, and I can't wait to explore this journey with you! Amberin
