Interview with a Telecommunication Systems student

PALAYSTINT Thorng is 20 years old and studies Telecommunication and Electrical Engineering at the Royal University of Phnom Penh. Three years ago he decided to enroll in this major because he liked to learn about mathematics and he wanted to innovate things that make people’s life easier. One of the things he likes about the telecommunication and electrical engineering major is that it offers real practice, which makes the major quite fun. In addition, the major has great opportunities for scholarships and exchange projects. On the other hand, Thorng doesn’t like the fact that he gets assigned a lot of assignments. Because of this, there is not much time left for a part-time job. Thorng needs to study hard, meaning that he has to go to the university for 4 hours a day and spend time afterwards on homework, research, and projects. But, in general he likes the major. His favorite subject is electromagnetic theory because here he can practice and experiment with real components. Thinking back to his highschool-time, he says that physics and maths are most relevant for his current study. 

His tip for you? Make sure you have a good understanding of physics and mathematics and do a little research on electronics.
