Nilakshan shares his thoughts about his time in Sheffield.

"When I was searching for good universities around the world to pursue my masters, I came across the º£½ÇÉçÇø of Sheffield. It is recognised world-wide and has a good academic record.

I chose to study water engineering because the world needs more water engineers, especially in developing countries like Sri Lanka, where I am from.

The course content was set up in a way that teaches the students what they will need in industry right now and in the future. The course content was challenging and interesting.

The facilities in the º£½ÇÉçÇø were outstanding. A student will get all kinds of help from the academic staff and support staff of the º£½ÇÉçÇø. The tutors were friendly and helpful, which I loved the most.

The city of Sheffield is a nice place to live and it has something for everybody. It is surrounded by places of scenic beauty, which a nature lover will yearn for.  The local people are also really friendly. Overall, I enjoyed my stay in Sheffield and was really happy with the quality education I received."
