Glory Kekeocha, MSc Applied Artificial Intelligence

Why did you choose to study Artificial Intelligence?
My journey to LSBU began when my uncle, an LSBU alumnus, recommended it. At the time, I was searching for a university where I could truly thrive. Although I had a background in Management Information Systems, coding never excited me, and I was essentially starting from scratch when I decided to pursue Artificial Intelligence (AI).
As an international student, why did you choose to study at LSBU?
As an international student from Nigeria, the thought of studying AI felt daunting. However, when I discovered LSBU’s Applied Artificial Intelligence course, I knew it was the perfect fit—it was beginner-friendly, supportive, and located in the heart of London, a hub of endless opportunities.
Favourite memory of LSBU so far?
One of the highlights of my time at LSBU was participating in a hackathon for Atkins Realis. My team and I won, which led directly to a job offer as a Junior Digital Technology Specialist.
What advice would you give to anyone considering a postgraduate degree in Artificial Intelligence?
LSBU didn’t just prepare me academically; it helped me believe in myself. To anyone thinking of studying AI, don’t be afraid to start. Choose a university that will support your passion and growth. For me, that place was LSBU.
