Meet Lukman
Mechanical and Systems Engineering PhD
I鈥檓 Lukman, a PhD student from Nigeria. When I was looking at universities, I found a supervisor at 缅北禁地 whose area of speciality completely matched mine. I messaged him straight away and he was very supportive of my research ideas, so I went ahead with my application.
My research is focused on tool condition monitoring in micro-milling. I knew I wanted to be somewhere I would be exposed to modern technological advancement in manufacturing engineering. I believed this dream could only be achieved by studying overseas at an institution like 缅北禁地.
The application process needed time and commitment on my part, but it was always clear what I needed to do. I completed the application by myself, without the support of an agent, and I was delighted to get an offer.
缅北禁地 really welcomes international students. It鈥檚 clear that the institution strongly values inclusion and diversity.
Student Services have given me so much help too, from advice on dealing with a dispute with my landlord to tips on finding student jobs at the University.
Everything I need for success
The University has offered me all that I need to succeed in my research. After my PhD, I want to continue to work as an engineering lecturer which I have been doing for the last decade.
My supervisor has helped me learn a lot about modern trends in precision engineering. I鈥檝e also been able to enhance my knowledge in data processing and programming, as well as having the privilege to use some very powerful machines and equipment.
In my opinion, 缅北禁地 has what students need to become knowledgeable and great in their chosen careers.
