University of Southampton

This time 4 years ago I was celebrating my A-level results and getting a highly prestigious place at ECS. Now I am a graduate and I can’t believe where all that time has gone! I hope over this time I have been able to give you an insight in to what student life in Southampton [...]

Graduation! So, as I said in my last blog I had my graduation this week, and what a day it was! We were in the first ceremony of the day at a not too onerously sounding 9:30am, but given the amount of formalities that had to be completed first it actually meant a very early [...]

In a couple of hours I will be heading off to Southampton for the last time (well, for now at least) for my graduation ceremony tomorrow morning. I’m really excited, but enough about that for now – I’ll write a full blog on it later once it’s actually happened! Instead, today I just plan to [...]

I will not pretend that this last year has been a bed of roses. Having been given a torrid time of it would be a much better description. A combination of outside pressures and some initial academic injustices put me in the position in questioning why I was still here. However, life is not about [...]

I got a FIRST! Yes, that’s right; I’m now the very proud holder of a First Class Honours Master’s Degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Southampton!

I write this a week after term has officially ended, this means that I can officially say that I’m ‘half-way through’ my degree. That’s two whole years done. Although, to be fair, the past year could probably count as two years in itself, with the amount that we’ve had to do! When I last posted [...]

Tidying up the mess of a desk that I left during the last exam period, I found, behind several other ‘post-it notes’ one that had “BLOG!” written on it. It then came to me, it surfaced on my brain, the meaning of that simple word, blog. It meant, tell people what has been going on, [...]

First year is almost over So this is it, two more exams and first year is over. I can hardly believe that it was 8 months ago that I left what I knew and came to Southampton to start my degree. If you had told me what I would have been up to before I [...]
