What are you studying/doing for your career at the moment and how do you feel your time at STC helped you get to where you are now?

Currently I am finishing my final semester in BSc Computer Science & Systems Engineering and enrolling for career position in the IT industry as a Software Developer/Engineer. My time at STC served as a foundation for the start of my journey in the field of Computer Science. The course at STC exposed me to trending technologies and a big range of IT-related subjects, giving me a holistic learning experience of both theory and practice in the computing domain.

Would you recommend STC to students considering a career in computing and business, if yes, why?

Definitely. STC has always welcomed students who want to start their journey in computing and business by offering us a tailored learning experience and degree pathway and preparing us for our own individual future careers. In this way each student was given individual focus and attention throughout their learning experience because a lot of attention is given to personal development at STC. Not to mention that the administration and academic staff are highly experienced and passionate when it comes to guiding students.

What position do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

Following the completion of my academic degree, I aim to continue learning and practicing my skills through continued dedication and the same principles that serve as STC’s motto: Learn, Achieve and Inspire. In the next 5 years I see myself practicing software engineering at an advanced level, and possibly teaching other students entering in the computing domain.

Academically, my goal is to reach a Masters level in Computer Science and depending on which direction my personal life and career lead me to, I may also pursue a doctorate level degree.
