How would you say your Brunel experience has helped you to get where you are today?
Before I came to Brunel, I was a normal employee of a government department in my hometown city. After I graduated from Brunel, it gave me the facility to enter a local company in the City of London, my salary has raised 3 times the amount before I came to Brunel. And after that, no matter which company I joined, I can consistently achieve a Senior Executive position within half a year.
Why did you choose to study at Brunel and why would you recommend Brunel to others?
Brunel is in London and located on the outskirts of the west side, it both can have the transport facility and the living cost is reasonable. Also, Brunel has a big proportion of international students (including Chinese of course), so it is friendly and easy to let foreign students join quickly and feel comfortable.
What is your best memory of studying here?
The pre-postgraduate period was great, especially its teamwork method instead of coursework.
If you could give one piece of advice to current Brunel students, what would that be?
- If the postgraduate period can add some teamwork instead of coursework, that would be great. 2. When or after we have the graduation ceremony, if Brunel can build a chat group to connect we classmates, no matter which social apps, that would be great too.
What would be your top tip or key advice for new graduates as they begin their career journey after leaving Brunel?
Try to get into a qualified local company and get a working VISA, that would help your future career a lot.
