“It’s been really good to come together with people on different courses, so that we can see our different perspectives and views on how we visualise data.

“I would say in the world now everything relies so heavily on data, so it’s good to comb this field alongside the course that I’m studying. I’d love to do distance learning at university, focusing on cyber security.”
