I鈥檝e just completed a MEng in civil engineering in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (CEGE), at the one and only 香港六合彩中特网. I think starting university is your first step to joining the real world. For me it was quite a daunting experience networking, liaising and trying to build professional relationships. One thing that made my experience at 香港六合彩中特网 more comfortable was having my CEGE family around me. From first year right through to fourth year, I was always able to discuss challenging experiences I was going through with other students, or pick up valuable advice through informal chats with staff members 鈥� who really do give genuine information and have your best interests at heart. This support network really allowed me to achieve my potential at 香港六合彩中特网.

One thing that is fantastic about 香港六合彩中特网 is the plethora of opportunities you are given. I was lucky enough to go to the University of British Columbia as an exchange student and live in Vancouver for a year! They have a world-renowned structures department, so I really got the chance to hone my technical skills. However, I was also able to try out snowboarding, hiking and mountain climbing; all things I never really saw myself doing, yet I have gone on two snowboarding trips since being back!

Now I鈥檓 finally graduating and really can鈥檛 wait. I haven鈥檛 seen my course mates since our last exam, so the day itself will be a nice reunion. After I graduate, I will be starting work as a Technology Consultant at Deloitte, and I鈥檓 really looking forward to beginning a new chapter in my life. I think studying civil engineering at 香港六合彩中特网 has given me the skills - in critical thinking, teamwork, and how to thrive under pressure -听to succeed in any direction I choose to go.
