When I was 16, I realised that I didn’t want to study medicine anymore. I really enjoyed biomedical sciences and the concept of being a doctor, but didn’t want the lifestyle, or to have to be at university for such a long time. I also really enjoyed physics and maths, and wanted to incorporate those into my career.
It took me a while to find out about “biomedical engineering”, but when I did I was really excited – it was a perfect inbetween for me! And I’ve never regretted the decision.

I found applied physics fascinating in school, and my father used to encourage my brother and I to try some science workshops and fun experiments at home.

I didn’t really understand what an engineer was when i was very young, but I think I already wanted to do this job – I just didn’t know what it was called yet. Eventually, I figured it out.

I literally decided I was going to pursue engineering on the change-of-mind deadline day for the CAO application.
Up to that point, I was dead-set on studying architecture. Some of the architecture courses I had applied to had aptitude tests as a requirement for entry to the course. Looking back now, I think it’s fortunate that I failed these tests, as it made me re-evaluate my options.
Engineering seemed like an interesting area, and the course I applied to had an open entry option, allowing my to put off the decision on which area of engineering to specialise in until after I had completed first year and gotten some experience of each area.
