UNSW Foundation Year Graduate
UNSW University Medal for Computer Science in 2001.
PhD candidate in Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing at UNSW

"Ever since I was very young I have been interested in computers and learning simple computer languages - this inspired me to study Computer Science at the University of New South Wales. I chose this university because of its excellent reputation for teaching and research. I enrolled in UNSW Foundation Year to help me learn how to study and cope at an Australian University. In Foundation Year, I found I could strengthen and build on what I knew, improve my English skills and adapt to my new learning environment. I also received a good solid basic grounding in what to expect when I eventually started my bachelor degree in Computer Science. In Foundation Studies I learnt critical thinking and study skills that have been very useful to me in my academic life. I really enjoyed my studies at Foundation Year. My teachers especially were very approachable so I could relax and ask questions. I thought it was great that the Student Advisers organised sporting events and excursions that helped me socialise with other students of all different nationalities. I still keep in touch with the friends I made through Foundation Studies."
