To celebrate World Student Day on 15 October, we’re encouraging university graduates past and present to share stories from their graduation and reflect on how their degree has helped them in their career.
Everyone’s university experience is different, whether you’re an international student graduating thousands of miles from home or studying alongside a family member, but these stories clearly show how the right degree can inspire a dream career.
Share your own story in the comments below or on social media using the #MyTopUniGrad and #WorldStudentsDay hashtags.
Royce Tan BSc(Hons) Computing, University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), 2017
Being an international student more than 6,600 miles far away from home was a challenging experience. However, UWE has always been there for me, from orientation to graduation.
I had an amazing time in class, the tutors were very attentive to us and very patient in answering questions to clear any doubts on any lectures or tutorials. It was also from the data studies module in the course that I built my interest in pursuing a career in Data Information, which led to me working as a Data Information Officer. I have never regretted in enrolling in UWE Bristol and those academic years will certainly be the best times in my life.
