"
I think that the most enjoyable thing about studying at the University of Liverpool is the people and the activities that bring us together. Every week, there are numerous extracurricular activities organised by my department and the student societies. One notable activity is the guest speaker series where industry leaders are invited to network with and share experiences with students. This networking opportunity has equipped me with communication skills that will be relevant to my career.
