UNIC Stories
Inspiring stories and testimonials from the School of Sciences and Engineering students and alumni.
Rhaam RozenbergWhen I initially began my Bachelor’s degree I was not exactly sure what path I wanted to follow, the different courses I got to take gave me the chance to discover different varied areas of computer science. Eventually, I found my interest to be in data science, AI, and machine learning. This led me to where I am now. I am really happy with what I have learned and am still learning thanks to some of the great professors that I had along the way. If I was given a chance to do it all again I would do it the same way.

The quantitative knowledge and skills I gained at UNIC became the very solid foundation on which my subsequent career was built. In addition to gaining advanced skills in mathematics, electronics, and computer programming, I appreciate having explored numerous other courses in the humanities and social sciences. I am truly grateful for being a member of the UNIC family, and for the crucial role that it played in helping to shape my future.
