GEORGE AOUN, MSC MOBILE AND HIGH SPEED TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS
Before coming to Oxford Brookes, I’ve earned a Computer Engineering degree from Ecole Supérieure d’Informatique of Paris. I heard about Oxford Brookes University through my former French University, ESI of Paris, since they offer a double degree program where we can spend our last year of the engineering program in a foreign university. I chose Brookes for two main reasons: first, its ranking in the engineering field. Oxford Brookes is known to be one of most prestigious universities in Europe. Second, I was inspired by its interesting course offerings, of which I chose the Master Of Science in Mobile and High Speed Telecommunication Networks which I believed it will help me expand my field of expertise beyond Computer Engineering. The course goes over all the aspects of Telecommunications, starting from its early life as 2G and arriving at the 4G networks. More importantly, it will give you a very good start for a better understanding of Telecommunication systems, even if you had acquired only a little knowledge in this field during your previous studies in Computer Engineering. Moreover, the teaching approach used combines the theoretical and the practical experience simultaneously, which can help the student to understand the concepts learned in real life examples. The best bits of studying at Brookes is meeting people from all around the world, sharing ideas and spending moments with them. In addition, talking freely with the professors who were available all the time, getting their advice and benefiting from their professional experiences.
I can advise any student to enjoy every course they take and enjoy their study, even if sometimes assignments could be challenging and stressful, believe me, it will pay off. And be grateful because all the courses taught in Oxford Brookes are well designed and prepare you very well for the industry world .I conclude this by an important quote that accompanied me during my whole education: “Success belongs to the most persistent”. After graduating from Oxford Brookes with a Master’s of Science in Telecommunications I wanted to discover more the world of telecommunication, so I applied to the engineering school INSA Toulouse, France to follow some a 6 months courses in Networks and Telecommunications engineering. Actually, I am working at the multinational bank “Société Générale” in Paris, France, as an integrator engineer in the division of API-PRJ in MKT/ OPM/ API.
