STUDENT PROFILE Umar Farouk Umar Computer Engineering (now replaced with Electronic Engineering and Computing) “I chose Queen Mary because of its stellar engineering programme that teaches you both electronic engineering and computer science modules. You will understand both the hardware and software side of things unlike other courses that teach you the inner workings of one, while you use the other as a tool. “The lecturers are always willing to help, both in and out of class, and are not afraid to try new interactive teaching methods. The most interesting we’ve done was the Design and Build group project in our second year. It involved building a device from scratch and defending the cost we would sell it for. “The best thing about Queen Mary is its diversity. It truly brings people from different backgrounds together and exposes you to different cultures.”
