What are your top 3 favourite things about Swansea?
It helped us realise to give respect to everybody’s self-respect. In a certain sense, some amount of anonymous giving or doing things that change societies doing things that leave a lasting impact by the creation of businesses, creation of jobs, and creation of sustainable institutions that last beyond you is the best way you can contribute to our country. The UK university I studied at has taught us that education should not be done with the sole purpose of earning more money. Our education must serve a larger societal purpose. We after completing our education at the UK university are in a unique position to accomplish what very few universities in the world can even dream of.

Everything I am today is because of the life skills that the UK university has provided or taught us. Everything I know today is because of my education at the Swansea University. Looking at the energy, the optimism I am assured that the future of students studying in UK universities is in good hands. I pray that all the UK universities we love and cherish will rise to even greater heights in the decades to come.

It has taught us to be positive and optimistic in life. Dismiss the profits of doom. Have self confidence and believe in yourself is what the take away the Swansea university has taught us.

What advice would you give to students who want to pursue your career?
Studying in Swansea university has taught me to respect the differences. Studying in UK is that it gives you a certain amount of independency. Its not even about what you learnt, its about the fact that you just learnt. Living in UK to start with who nobody would recognise you to creating your own identity where people start recognising you for your work is empowering. It lets us to discover who you are which truly is more to me. I am gaining a level of independence which is extremely important in the world we are living today. It helps me think even professionally better.
