Hello! My name is Nicholas and I’m originally from India, but I’ve been stuck in the New Zealand education system for 13 years, so I decided to give it my all for the last 5 and do an Engineering/Science conjoint, specialising in Biomedical Engineering (BME) and majoring in Physics.

My name is Mairi and I’m studying Biomedical Engineering this year. Hopefully I’ll be able to shed a little insight into the life of a BME which might help you out a little bit in November when you have to choose which specialisation you want to spend the next three years in (Hint: BME is…Continue Reading Mairi’s introduction
