I'm Valentin, I come from France and I used to study civil engineering in Paris before
coming to Birmingham and now I'm part of the MSc Water Resources Technology and Management.
The reason why I chose the MSc Water Resources Technology and Management is that it's because
it gives you a really wide understanding of all the water related topics, but still if
you're really interested in technical areas, you can be very specific about it. I was particularly
interested in all the energy related subjects with water for example because I would like
to work in the fields which try to improve how you can produce energy from water and
the thing is, all the modules won't be about the energy but the thing is, it gives you
a general understanding of all the water related subjects that allows you to understand more
what you are studying in your specific area. The main reason why I chose Birmingham is
for the very high regard in which the Civil Engineering department is held. The reason
why I chose Birmingham as well is for the campus because it's beautiful, it's very green,
you can work in a very pleasant and convivial environment. The thing is with Birmingham
as well, it's really in the centre of England so you can go quite easily to London for example
or even to Manchester and travel really easily to pretty much wherever in England.
The campus is very well located in Birmingham. It's very close to the city centre so this
is very convenient if you want to go in the centre to do some shopping, to visit or even
to have a drink with your friends in a pub. Also the university has its own train station
so basically all the students live around the campus and this is quite great because
all the students are not far from each other and this is a very good atmosphere. For example
we are five in the house where I live and we have a really good time. There are some
people coming from England but also some people coming from elsewhere and so you don't only
share your cultural experiences on the campus, you also do this every day and this is quite
amazing. I recommend it to everybody.
