Profile

Kuoyuan Li

As a computer science student, I have been fortunate to enjoy my time on campus, both in and outside of lectures and tutorials. 

One of the highlights of my program is the chance to participate in a one-year research project. This opportunity allows me to choose a field of interest and immerse myself in it for an entire year. I find this incredibly rewarding as it gives me the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of a specific area within computer science. Having expert supervisors who guide me throughout this research project further enhances my connection to the subject matter. 

Additionally, I appreciate the flexibility that the University of Melbourne provides when it comes to choosing courses during the first year. This freedom allows me to explore various areas within computer science and find what truly captures my interest. It's been an invaluable experience to have the ability to pursue my passions and delve deeper into subjects that intrigue me. 

Beyond the academic aspect, I have also found the people in my degree to be wonderful. The community fosters a supportive and inclusive environment, and I've had the opportunity to get to know my peers better through social sessions held per semester. These interactions have helped build a sense of camaraderie among us, creating a supportive network of individuals who share similar interests and goals.
