“I had the pleasure of studying alongside some great people from all around the world. I really enjoyed getting to know my course mates. All the lecturers I interacted with were very down-to-earth and would always be willing to lend a helping hand. 

The MSc helped refine my problem-solving skills. It also helped me gain a much greater knowledge of programming and data analysis tools. It taught me how to gain an understanding of a topic quickly. 

After graduating I started a job at ASML in the Netherlands. I have been working as a technical support engineer. I spend a lot of time analysing data from ASML’s systems to diagnose issues and brainstorm solutions.”
