Computing (Computer Networks and Cybersecurity) (BSc, HND, HNC, Foundation Entry)
Welcome! I’m Orin. I lived in Hong Kong for most of my life before coming to the UK, so I know exactly how daunting (and exciting) it is to study abroad. I’m now in my final year of cybersecurity and networking.
My Interests: When I'm not coding, I'm usually gaming or working on the university's Esports Society, which I am currently relaunching. I’m also a huge petrolhead with a love for cars and robotics.
Ask me about: Finding the best Asian food in town, the transition from College/BTEC to University, or how the university supports students with learning differences like dyslexia. I’m happy to share my tips on making this city feel like home!
Samir
University of Surrey
Computer Science BSc (Hons)
Hi everyone! I’m a Computer Science student here at the University of Surrey. After completing A levels in Maths, Further Maths, and Computer Science, I joined Surrey through Clearing, and I’ve been incredibly happy with my experience here. Looking ahead, I hope to either secure a graduate position—ideally in the field of cybersecurity—or pursue a Master’s degree in a related specialism.
Outside of coding and algorithms, I’m a big believer in a healthy work-life balance! You’ll usually find me at the gym, playing badminton, practicing my guitar, or grinding a new video game. I also love making the most of the social side of uni life and going out with friends.
Whether you have questions about the workload of a CS degree, how to balance sports and studies, or just want to know what student life is really like at Surrey, feel free to give me a shout!

Computer Networks and Cyber Security (MSc, PgDip, PgCert)
Hi, I’m Sayem, a postgraduate student studying MSc Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. I completed my Bachelor’s in Computer Science & Engineering, where I worked on projects related to cybersecurity—especially phishing detection using behavioral biometrics.
I’m originally from Bangladesh and now studying on the Swansea campus. I know how exciting—and sometimes confusing—it can feel when planning to study abroad, so I’m always happy to share honest advice about university life, courses, accommodation, part-time work, or life in Wales.
Outside my studies, I enjoy tech, solving practical problems, and exploring new places. If you have questions about the course, campus, or student life, feel free to message me. I’m here to help!
If you want it shorter, more friendly, or more focused on campus life, I can adjust it!

I've lived abroad for over half my life in Portugal, it was my first language but my parents are English. I then moved to England for personal reasons. So I got hit with lots of cultural differences but managed to adapt quite easily. I then moved to Wales for uni and am enjoying it greatly. Welsh people are lovely and made me feel welcomed and part of their community. So feel free to chat with me if you have any questions or concerns. I'm always happy to have a chat and help others out as I've never lived in Wales before and was completely new to the area.
