I&#8217;ve been down under now for nearly seven months. Though currently, I&#8217;m travelling around New Zealand with my brother and cousin who came over for a holiday (and maybe to see me). In this blog, I&#8217;m going to be talking about some of the skills I&#8217;ve learnt and plans I&#8217;ve been making due to my time here. I\u2019ve gained a lot in my time in Australia, and that&#8217;s an understatement. Classic year abroad clich\u00e9!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Something different<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst at the University of Sydney, I\u2019ve been able to study modules different from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/natural-sciences\/\">Natural Sciences<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/\">York<\/a>. This is mostly due to having taken my exchange as an additional year, rather than a replacement year. For example, I have learnt how to code in MATLAB as well as learning other computational skills, something not offered to me at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/R.Ward-Physics-department-at-Sydney.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4646\" \/><figcaption> <br>Physics at Sydney, right next to my project office <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one of my units in the first Semester, I had the amazing opportunity to do an individual project with a research group in Physics. This involved planning my own work time, meeting with the research group, completing a report and a final presentation. I had to do a lot of self-motivating and became more confident about my own decisions surrounding the research. I learnt everything takes three times longer than you expect when it comes to a project! Often, there is a high-pressure moment near the end of a project where you are trying to complete everything in a mad rush. I believe this has all prepared me well for my final year project in York. Next Semester, I\u2019m intending to do a group project with an industry partner, so hopefully, I\u2019ll have gained even more skills in a few months\u2019 time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A new perspective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studying abroad, meeting lots of people at different stages of life has really opened my eyes to all the opportunities and routes available to me. This has revealed to me that I don\u2019t want to go down the bachelors &#8211; masters &#8211; PhD\/grad scheme &#8211; job for life route (at least not yet). During my time here, I\u2019ve decided to change down from a MSci to a BSc. If I\u2019d stayed in the UK, I would have done my Masters specialising in Physics. But getting away for a while and studying different subjects, I\u2019ve realised that I don\u2019t want to take Physics any further than a Bachelors. I would like to study a Masters and maybe a PhD in another subject, using my skills from Physics, and in a different place, maybe abroad!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/R.Ward-back-with-my-friends-1024x496.jpeg?resize=1024%2C496&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/R.Ward-back-with-my-friends.jpeg?resize=1024%2C496&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/R.Ward-back-with-my-friends.jpeg?resize=300%2C145&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/R.Ward-back-with-my-friends.jpeg?resize=768%2C372&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/R.Ward-back-with-my-friends.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption> <br>Looking forward to being back with my friends <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saying all this, I am really looking forward to coming back for my last year in York.
