I am an international student from Nigeria. My undergraduate degree was in philosophy and logic, which I completed in my home country. My postgraduate degree is MSc Computing. My reason for pursuing this is because I wanted more in life. I fell in love with solving technical problems and I decided to look for courses online. I was fortunate enough to find the MSc conversion course at Edge Hill University. The culture and diversity in the UK makes it a very comfortable, homely place for me.

My application process to Edge Hill University was very smooth compared to other universities that I applied to. I submitted my application form through UCAS, along with my Statement of Purpose and other documents that were required. Edge Hill provided someone to guide me through the whole process of my visa application. After I submitted my application, the response from Edge Hill was very quick.

My course is a conversion course for people who don’t have a technical background. I have studied topics like software engineering and computer architecture. My modules also cover research methodologies and programming principles.

My advice to anyone wanting to study this degree is to make the most of the learning materials that the university provides you. They will give you everything that you need to succeed, however you need to put in the work yourself as well. In one year you can literally turn your life around through postgraduate study, but you need to make it count.

After graduating, I would love to apply the knowledge that I have gained from my degree into real world applications. I want to make sure that I am a valuable person, providing solutions in whichever company I find myself in and always striving to make a difference. I also want to continuously upskill my knowledge, as tech is a constantly evolving industry.
