"My year of study at The University of Manchester was truly extraordinary. The comprehensive curriculum and the dedicated guidance of my teachers enriched me profoundly, culminating in the successful attainment of a Distinction degree. This transformative year honed my agile thinking, diligent work ethic, solid professional foundation, and a spirit of inclusivity in all interactions.
As a result, I received fully-funded PhD offers from several top-50 QS-ranked universities, including King’s College London and the University of Auckland. However, due to visa considerations, I ultimately chose to return to China, settling in the vibrant metropolis of Shenzhen, where I now work in telecommunications R&D as a proud engineer.
I am deeply grateful to The University of Manchester for nurturing my growth—both academically and personally—allowing me to immerse myself in British culture while solidifying my resolve to advance in the field of communications. Moving forward, I will remain true to my aspirations, striving with unwavering determination to paint the canvas of my life in bold and brilliant strokes."

"The Renewable Energy and Clean Technology MSc program has fundamentally shaped the way I approach learning. It has equipped me with the skills to conduct research across a range of topics including renewable energy, energy storage, and climate change.
I've learned to integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, model energy scenarios, and evaluate challenges from different perspectives—technical feasibility, economic viability, and climate impact. These three pillars, in my view, should be central to the approach of any renewable energy stakeholder.
The knowledge and skills I gained through the program have been especially valuable in my work as a developer of renewable energy and Power-to-X projects, where a multidisciplinary and impact-driven approach is essential."
