Student Profile

Rumon Abdullah

I searched for the best option for my Materials Engineering courses and found Edinburgh Napier fits my preference because of the programme structure, a wide range of modules and practical course work. The course is also accredited by the Institute of Materials Minerals and Mining (IOM3), which has made the course extraordinary.

I can remember my first class was on Ceramic and Composite Materials by Neil Shearer (My programme leader), It was fascinating the way he shared the new topic to us. Besides that, another class I had was Metallic Materials, again, the lecturer really supported me and helped me with so many resources.

I also received support from other students through ENSA. They went through a lot of effort during exam time by sharing cookies and coffee. It was an amazing experience for me.

I believe that the challenges I faced have helped shape me in a good way. I think, these challenges have helped me to grow and develop.

The support is countless if you want to use it. The university has a career service that helps students get into employment and besides that, the university offers multi-cultural programmes that help build a wonderful community for students.

Overall, it is not possible to conclude my experience in words, everything has been a matter of lifelong experience for me.
