  • Fardhin

    Brunel University of London
    Aerospace Engineering
    Hello, I'm Fardhin, currently in my second year of studying Aerospace Engineering. Ever since I was young, I’ve been fascinated by planes, how they move through the sky with such power and precision. That curiosity led me to explore how they function, and it’s what inspired me to pursue this field. As I continue my studies, I'm excited about the different paths my future could take. I’m considering becoming a pilot, which would bring me closer to my passion for flight, or possibly working as a chartered engineer, where I could help design and create the next generation of aircraft. Both paths excite me because they offer the chance to combine my love for aviation with the technical knowledge I’m developing now. I’m passionate about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the aerospace field, and I'm excited to see where my journey takes me.

Besides sciences, I love dancing and acting, as well as listening to music. As for London, I'm just in love with the city. It's so beautiful, and if you don't mind me, magical 😍. I have visited several places already, but I have still much to explore! If you have any questions or feel lost and would like some guidance, I AM here for YOU! I'm more than happy to help <3

    Medicine
    I am from Taiwan, and I am now a 3rd-year MBBS student at Brunel Medical School. My special interests in medicine include Immunology and Neurology. I chose to study Medicine because I love science and art, and Medicine is the perfect combination of both. I particularly love the Brunel MBBS Team-Based Learning model (TBL) as it guides my learning journey as a medical student very well. The early placement opportunity since Year 1 has been the most rewarding learning experience for me.

    Computer Science
    Hey there! I'm a third-year computer science student from Tanzania. When I'm not buried in code, you can find me on the football field, shooting hoops on the basketball court, or battling it out in online battle royale games—I'm a bit of a gaming enthusiast. I've also got a thing for cars, their mechanics and design fascinate me. What really excites me, though, is the idea of merging my interests with artificial intelligence. The thought of blending manual processes with AI tech gets me fired up. So, fellow future students, remember that your passions can lead you to exciting places, and I can't wait to explore this journey with you!
