Student Profile

Domingo Kauak Alaff

My experience at Institute for Transport Studies helped in my job and career by mostly by having the chance to talk to Professors and different professionals in the rail industry to draw comparisons between the realities of the UK and Chile and learning from the similarities and differences. This gives you a better perspective of your own work and how the “status quo” of things on the rail industry changes from country to country

I wanted to study something on rail, which has been my field of work for more than a decade. South America does not currently have a well-established and experienced high education on the matter, so I chose to go to Europe to keep learning. The University of Leeds offered something different to a purely-engineering perspective for rail, which was more interesting to me.

My advice to students interested in this course and a career in transport is to make more use of the time that you're at ITS and the University of Leeds. Engage, ask and get involved, as it will make you learn more and feel a deeper involvement in your development, especially considering that the future can change in the blink of an eye.
