    STUDENT PROFILE

    Elnara Nasimi

    Graduate program of study: Master of Applied

    Science in Nuclear Engineering

    Why I chose UOIT: I received several

    recommendations for UOIT from people working

    within the nuclear power production and uranium

    mining industries. I was very impressed with the

    approachability of the faculty and how easy it was to meet with them to

    access more information about the program. I was also impressed with

    the broad variety of research topics.

    What I like best about my program: I like the structure of the courses at

    the graduate-level as students are encouraged to participate in design

    projects in direct connection with the industry. I also like how personal it

    is as the classroom sizes are quite small and we get plenty of opportunities

    to ask questions and participate in group discussions. The instructors

    and support staff get to know students so quickly and are always so

    helpful and friendly. It makes me feel at home when I come to school.

    STUDENT PROFILE

    Sonja Stadler

    Graduate program of study: Master of Science in Applied Bioscience

    Why I chose UOIT: UOIT is the only university in Canada that provides a graduate program with a focus in forensic science.

    In addition, the growing research faculty and facilities provide an excellent opportunity to conduct relevant and exciting

    research. The fact that UOIT is a small university with an interdisciplinary science department was an added bonus. I felt

    that these features would create a close-knit community for me to become a part of.

    What I like best about my program: The Applied Bioscience program incorporates both course work and completion of a

    thesis. By combining these aspects I feel like I can get the most out of my Masters degree. Through the course work I learned

    about ongoing research in other fields and developed skills for a career in academia, which provided a strong foundation for my research. The thesis

    portion will allow me to conduct research in an area that genuinely interests me. I will develop and conduct my own research project, learning the ins

    and outs of research along the way.

    STUDENT PROFILE

    Mehmet Orhan

    Hometown: Batman, Turkey

    Graduate program of study: Doctor of

    Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering

    Why I chose UOIT: As an international

    student, I really appreciate the support and

    encouragement of the faculty and staff in helping me adapt to a new

    country. Canada is known for its diversity so I dont feel like a foreigner

    here; everyone is very open-minded and welcoming. The best part of my

    experience at UOIT has been meeting so many different people and learning

    new things, I absolutely dont regret my decision to come here.
