Student Profile
Jonathan Faraoni
Graduated in 2021
My story begins in 2015 when at the age of 19 years old I decided to move abroad for my studies and pursue a bachelor’s degree in science and technology. After many searches, I found Bournemouth University which had many interesting courses on the subject. I decided to enrol for the computing course, and there I was away from home.
I chose BU because I have grown up near the beach so I found the same environment, and also because I really liked the course which was one of the best at the time for undergraduate degree. Another reason was because of BU’s great reputation in employment prospects.
My undergraduate experience left me with a lot of good memories – I met a lot of people, lived with different people and made friends that last up to this day. As soon as I returned to university for my final year, I met Marios Angelopoulos who was the unit leader for IoT. I had an initial discussion with him about my interest and we immediately found appreciation in the subject of interest. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I was still fascinated by the subject and thanks to help of Marios, I continued my studies in MSc Internet of Things at Bournemouth University.
During my master’s degree, I had the time and the interest to enjoy what I was studying with different stimulating challenges – also, the course offers many opportunities to students who are willing to put themselves out there, this is what happened to me.
In November 2019 I participated in a Hackathon hosted by Siemens. There were 17 universities competing to try and solve a problem that was described by the hosting company. The first winner will be offered internships with the company. My team did not win the first place, but I managed to impress some of the judges of Siemens who then ask me to come to their office for an interview. This was a great opportunity for me as it demonstrates that hard-working individuals always manage to accomplish success.
I have started officially with Siemens Mobility in October 2020 and I am grateful for the experience and the opportunities that Bournemouth University has given me to build my career.
