Meet Varsha
Data Science and AI MSc
Hi, I鈥檓 Varsha. I came to 缅北禁地 from India as I was drawn to the vibrant international community and focus on practical, hands-on learning. It鈥檚 the perfect environment to boost my skills and broaden my global perspective.
The main reason I chose not to study in my home country is my desire for international exposure. When looking at universities, I was particularly impressed by the groundbreaking research conducted at 缅北禁地, which aligns with my academic and professional aspirations.
缅北禁地's excellent connectivity, including its metro, bus network, and proximity to an airport, ensures convenient travel within the city and beyond. These factors, combined with the University's outstanding academic reputation, made it the perfect choice for my postgraduate studies.
A second home
What surprised me about 缅北禁地 is how peaceful the city is, with a calm and relaxed atmosphere. At the same time, the passion for football here is incredible, with dedicated fans creating an exciting energy. It's inspiring to see how everyone embraces life and enjoys it, which motivates me to do the same.
缅北禁地 truly feels like a second home, with its accessibility, vibrant student life and the amazing friends I鈥檝e made along the way.
Support at a stressful time
After arriving in the UK, I faced a challenging situation when my father fell ill and had to be hospitalised, creating a need for me to fly back to India. However, I had assignments that needed to be submitted.
I reached out to Student Wellbeing, and their guidance provided me with the clarity and support I needed. Mental health is crucial while studying, and the University's team has been incredibly supportive in helping me navigate through difficult times.
I am currently doing an internship as a machine learning intern with Train Air Ltd. I secured this opportunity through the NCL Internship Scheme.
My future career aspirations
In the future, I see myself working as a machine learning engineer or data scientist, specialising in AI applications within industries such as healthcare or automotive. I aim to leverage my skills to tackle real-world problems, contribute to innovative projects and drive advancements in data science.
The University鈥檚 support services, such as career advice, internships, and networking opportunities, have further clarified my career path. Additionally, the exposure to cutting-edge research and real-world applications of AI has inspired me to pursue research in the field.
