University of Manchester, UK Florence has learned that she has been accepted to attend the University of Manchester to study for the 4-year Master of Materials Science and Engineering with Honours. Materials Science is a synthesis of physics, chemistry, and engineering. It is the building block on which modern industry has and will continue to advance. This programme provides a thorough grounding in the scientific principles governing the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of all solid materials, and the opportunity to specialise in the study of a particular class of material (metal, ceramic, or polymer) through a choice of options. The extensive final year project enables students to tackle a topic at the forefront of Materials Science in depth. It will develop further practical and analytical skills. Formal teaching in communication and transferable skills, including basic management and organisational behaviour, computing and presentation techniques, is given to complement the academic training. The University of Manchester is highly respected across the globe as a centre of teaching excellence and innovative research, ranked #28 in the QS World University Rankings 2023. www.manchester.ac.uk Suchi has three more universities to choose to attend. She has recently been accepted by the University of Amsterdam, the University of Groningen, and Tilburg University to study for the Bachelor of Science in Econometrics and Operations Research / Data Science. This English-taught degree programme examines questions such as, ‘Did the economic crises have an effect on elderly care?’; ‘How can we increase profits sustainably?’; ‘How will Brexit affect the European economy?’ Econometrists help to answer these questions by analysing real data through mathematical and statistical models. The degree course trains students to programme models and interpret outcomes to answer questions effectively. University of Amsterdam, Netherlands The University of Amsterdam is a public institution that traces its roots back to 1632. The university is spread across four campuses in the Netherlands – the City Centre Campus, the Roeterseiland Campus, the Amsterdam Science Park and the Academic Medical Center.

UW-Milwaukee is an important academic institution with an impressive alumni base, strong research profile, and deep community engagements. The four-year undergraduate pre-professional program in Architectural Studies prepares students for graduate studies in architecture and related design and construction fields. The primary goal is to introduce students to architecture as both a technical and cultural practice. Over the course of their studies, students enrol in a variety of studios, lectures, and seminars to accrue skills in architectural making, thinking, design, visualization, digital fabrication, prototyping, and simulation. In addition to learning essential analytical and creative-problem solving skills, students are required to complete courses in structures and construction, environmental and building technology, human behavior, and contemporary criticism. In their fourth year, students are asked to select from a wide range of architectural electives and advanced studios, allowing them the opportunity to craft a curriculum based on their areas of interest. Graduates of the program can continue their studies at the UW-Milwaukee School of Architecture and Urban Planning by applying to the Master of Architecture (M.Arch), Master of Science in Architecture (M.S.), or Master of Urban Planning (MUP) program. www.uwm.edu Abilene Christian University, TX This week, Cross learned that he has been accepted to attend Abilene Christian University to study for the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation Management. The program includes modules in psychology, physiology, leadership, ethics, and health and wellness promotion as well as finance, economics, risk management, conflict management, communication, and first aid. There are sports and fitness practicums built into the program too. Electives include martial arts, snow skiing and boarding, and canoe camping. People who are enthusiastic about the chance to work in professional, collegiate, or recreational athletics have a career advantage when they possess a degree in kinesiology, sport, and recreation management. Sporting organizations require employees with many of the same financial, operational, and marketing skills as any other business. However, an aspiring sports manager should also have a thorough knowledge of issues that are unique to the industry. In addition, a sports manager with a specific focus within the field acquired through a sport management degree could find themselves in a more marketable employment position. Abilene Christian University is a private institution that was founded in 1906. It has a total undergraduate enrolment of +/- 4,000 and is located on a 272-acre campus in the city of Abilene. www.acu.edu Comments are closed.
