      Im at Oxford now but I didnt start at Oxford. I started at the University of Surrey.

      The key is to look for a course which excites you. So I chose surrey because I could study sleep science and I got the chance to work in industry for a year. I was very lucky and managed to go to Harvard for a year to study sleep!

    It depends what you want to do afterwards.

    If you want to work in industry, look for a university course that is supported by a lot of industrial partners and accredited by industry.

    If you want to go into research and academia, look for a well-regarded university in the area you want to study, and read the lecturer profiles to identify whom already does research in the area you want to go into. Choose the course on which they lecture.

    After that, it’s all about hard work and never giving up.
