 Raj’s career perspective
‘Having completed a BEng in Computer Systems Engineering at Sussex I decided I wanted to continue my studies here by taking on a Masters degree. My eventual aim was to start my own web technology business. Sussex is one of the world-leading universities in this field, so I knew that I wanted to stay here.
‘I found the School of Science and Technology’s emphasis on research and the facilities available in the labs to be really useful throughout my studies. On the MRes in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence we were encouraged to mix and match courses to suit our interests. This meant I was able to focus my attention on the areas of computer science that I knew I wanted to specialise in.
‘Another fantastic thing about the University is the societies in the Student Union. I was the president of the Asian Society and an active member of ilumus – the Student Enterprise Society. Both helped me work on my leadership skills and get a taste of what I could expect in business.
‘Now, together with a Brighton-based entrepreneur and researcher, I’m running my own business, Kwiqq.com, a social networking software. We’re based at the Sussex Innovation Centre, a business incubator on campus and, via the Career Development and Employment Centre, we look to get students involved in our business. I really like the fact that the Innovation Centre was where I began my career – I was a computer science intern here during my BEng, so it’s really rewarding to have established my business here.’
