Guatemalan scholar Hector Francisco Gómez Hernández is studying a MSc Systems Engineering Management, a programme of the Department of Design, Manufacturing & Engineering Management (DMEM) at the University of Strathclyde.
Hector explains about his experience of studying in the UK:
In this master’s degree I have been able to develop my skills in systemic thinking, system design and risk management in engineering. Among the projects I have worked on during the master’s degree, the following stand out: Design of the architecture of an autonomous and sustainable transport system, Analysis of social systems and conflicts.
Living and studying in Glasgow, Scotland has been one of the best decisions. Glasgow is a vibrant city, with lots of music and art, as well as being very well connected to other cities in Scotland, and historic places, such as Dunnottar Castle.
There are many benefits to being selected, including fully funded tuition fees, access to some of the best quality education in the world, exclusive networking opportunities, and the chance to explore the UK’s diverse culture.
