Umayah is a student studying an undergraduate degree in Computer Science (Digital & Technology Solutions) BSc.
Umayah chose to study at the University of Leeds because "it is a prestigious institution and highly valued by employers".
She continued "The best part of being on this course is the sense of community you get right from the start. Being part of a small cohort in a huge course like computer science definitely helped me to settle in easier and find like-minded peers. Throughout the year we would occasionally meet in the Leeds office and have socials, including the Christmas party, which helped us stay well connected. Some of my closest friendships are with people studying on the same course which has made my overall experience at university enjoyable.
Another aspect is that the course includes two summer internships and a placement year in the third year of my degree. Having these integrated into the programme means that I don’t have to worry about applying to and securing internships or a placement year elsewhere! This structure allows me to enjoy everything that student life has to offer, focusing on academics and the social aspects of University."

Charlee Boyle is a student studying an undergraduate degree in Computer Science. During his third year, Charlee undertook a placement year at IBM, working as a Software Development Intern.
Charlee said, “I saw an industrial placement as an opportunity to take time away from studying to utilise the skills that I had developed at Leeds University and gain hands-on experience in developing enterprise software."
He continued, “Working for IBM allowed me to widen my network in the industry, demonstrate my skills, and gain a better insight into future career paths.
My role is Software Development Intern for the IBM product z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition, which enables clients to create RESTful APIs for communication with IBM sub-systems hosted on IBM Z Mainframe, namely CICS, IMS, DB2. I am part of the local development team in Hursley, United Kingdom. The wider teams are based in Silicon Valley (USA) and Beijing (China).
The role includes assisting in the whole development cycle for the product: design, development, test and release. We encompass the Agile methodology, IBM DevOps, and IBM Design Thinking. This means iteratively developing quality software and continuously delivering it, whilst keeping our clients at the forefront.”

Edward is a student studying an undergraduate degree in Computer Science (Digital & Technology Solutions) BSc.
When asked what the best aspect of studying at Leeds was, Edward said "On my course it would be the different modules, being able to learn about so many different topics to figure out what I enjoy the most and what I could pursue as a career.At the university it would be the amount of support that is available, any work issues that I had would get resolved by the appropriate staff who were readily available in person or via email. There were also plenty of help sessions as part of my timetable making sure I understood the modules."
