Teacher

Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.

About the job

Main responsibilities

Now my main responsibility is to use my professional knowledge and learning experience to guide the young people who are just beginning to learn architectural design.

Typical day

As a teacher, I am now teaching architectural design knowledge to young people aged 16-21, and guiding them to enjoy architectural study. I am also the head teacher of our school's international class. These students are going to study abroad. I tell them about my experience in the University of Sheffield and help them apply for schools.


Career information

Brief history since leaving University

After graduation, I chose to return to China and got the teacher's certificate. Then I joined a vocational school and became a teacher to teach architectural design by the end of 2017.

Where do I see myself in the future?

For the future development, I will continue my teacher's work and carry out the research on architectural design. I will teach what I have learned to my students, and constantly improve my academic ability through international exchanges and in-service training.


Advice to students

My piece of advice to students

Ask more questions when you study. You have a very good learning environment. There are many excellent students around you, so use these resources as much as possible. At the same time, make use of the holiday time to travel more, go out to see more buildings, museums, art galleries to accumulate knowledge. When you begin to study architectural design, setbacks will become part of your daily life. Every year shakes your belief in continuing, but if you love architecture, stick to it, and the sense of achievement will come one day.
