• Programmer Daria Yakovleva: "You shouldn’t be afraid to try something new"

  Computer science isn’t just about knowing how to design algorithms, analyse data or work with functions.

We spoke to Daria about taking part in internships, competitions and activities at the university and how that can help one’s future career.
