Nilakshan's experiences

"When I was searching for good universities around the world to pursue my masters, I came across the University of Sheffield. It is recognised world-wide and has a good academic record.

I chose to study water engineering because the world needs more water engineers, especially in developing countries like Sri Lanka, where I am from.

The course content was set up in a way that teaches the students what they will need in industry right now and in the future. The course content was challenging and interesting.

The facilities in the University were outstanding. A student will get all kinds of help from the academic staff and support staff of the University. The tutors were friendly and helpful, which I loved the most.

The city of Sheffield is a nice place to live and it has something for everybody. It is surrounded by places of scenic beauty, which a nature lover will yearn for.  The local people are also really friendly. Overall, I enjoyed my stay in Sheffield and was really happy with the quality education I received."
