“At the Asia Careers Fair, I met with a company from the gaming service industry. They recognised the skills and language proficiency I developed in my degree and saw my knowledge of different game IPs. After the fair, I was interviewed by the company, and they offered me a job that was in perfect alignment with my passion and skills. Lancaster University’s support helped me transition from university to the professional world. I couldn't be more grateful. I've embarked on a career that allows me to combine my love for languages with a fulfilling job.”

“One of my standout moments at Lancaster was participating in a charity auction organized by Fylde College's JCR. The sense of community and the spirit of giving were truly inspiring. Seeing so many people coming together to support various causes was amazing, and the energy and enthusiasm were contagious. The event raised a lot for local charities, and it was heartwarming to know that our collective efforts would make a difference.”
