I\u2019m Jannat, I\u2019m from Italy, I came to Italy from Bangladesh when I&nbsp;was&nbsp;younger. I am 18 years old and I am currently studying Computer Science at Goldsmiths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Why I came to Goldsmiths to study Computer Science<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before coming to this fun university, I was an A-level student. I studied Maths, Computer Science, Biology and Italian. It may seem a bit of a weird combination, however, I was interested&nbsp;in finding similarities and differences between Artificial Intelligence and&nbsp;humans&nbsp;so I chose Computer Science and Biology.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose to do Maths as I believe it is fundamental when it comes to doing&nbsp;any science&nbsp;or&nbsp;technology subjects. I did Italian because I did not want to forget it if I left Italy and because I love learning new languages.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to study Computer Science for my degree because I&nbsp;have&nbsp;been very&nbsp;interested in tech since I was young, especially programming and AI. I chose to come to Goldsmiths because I&nbsp;felt like they helped me to recognize my potential, even at the interview where we have talked about my A levels, what I\u2019m currently working on and about my future.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>What I am studying<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My experience so far at Goldsmiths has been amazing. The staff and students are nice and always make me feel included. The course is fun,&nbsp;we get to learn through various activities during our lectures and seminars such as using Kahoot or debugging codes\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This term we have done&nbsp;4 modules:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Fundamentals of Computer&nbsp;Science&nbsp;<\/li><li>Numerical maths&nbsp;<\/li><li>Programming&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Web development&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, I am working on my individual website which is worth 60% of my marks. I am making a website about the city of Venice and its history. The content includes advice on the places you should visit and which shops you should check out if you visit. I am also working on the last stage of my games project, which very exciting as the extension requires us to add either an enemy, platform, advanced graphics or sound to our game.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>My&nbsp;plan for the future<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the rest of this academic year, we will carry on&nbsp;studying&nbsp;Fundamentals&nbsp;of Computer Science&nbsp;and&nbsp;Programming,&nbsp;and start&nbsp;two new&nbsp;topics, Problem&nbsp;Solving and&nbsp;Symbolic&nbsp;Maths.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once I graduate, my plan is to work as a&nbsp;programmer,&nbsp;but&nbsp;I would also like to&nbsp;explore different sectors such as cybersecurity&nbsp;and&nbsp;AI.&nbsp;I&nbsp;also aim to visit countries where children receive poor education and&nbsp;do charity work with&nbsp;them as&nbsp;much&nbsp;as I can.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey there!
