The University of Southampton

Weichao Gong MSc Software Engineering, 2018

I chose to come and study at the University of Southampton because it’s a world class University and good at Electronics and Computer Science.

Studying here is an amazing experience. The module sets are updated and inspired. The lecturers are supportive. The facilities are well-maintained and accessible.

I have taken computer and software courses at undergraduate and master’s level. I am always passionate about computer and software. Becoming a software engineer will be the first step in my career. 

The group coursework is what I have most enjoyed about my course. Working in a group is an essential skill in current society. Most of the courses gave us opportunities to work in a group to communicate and cooperate with members from different backgrounds, which is the most exciting and helpful part of the course. 

University Accommodation

I stayed in University of Southampton accommodation. There are various facilities in the halls, including a common room, laundry, gym, music room. All are well-maintained and available. There are various activities held by the halls community which can offer a good place to relax and make friends.
