The Matrix was a massive blockbuster movie in our childhood. The hero in this movie is Neo, a guy who can dodge bullets, perform kung-fu, and does all of that while looking ridiculously good.   If the Matrix was real though, the true heroes will probably be the software engineers, who build the Matrix world with their impressive programming skills. Today, we are talking to one of those heroes in the making, an ordinary international student who is achieving extra-ordinary things, kicking goals, and doing all of that while also looking ridiculously good (on her own Youtube channel).   We are kicking off our mini-series on overviews of Bachelor courses with a bang. In this episode we are interviewing Linh Tran (Linh Ei on Youtube), a Bachelor of Computer Science international student at the University of Wollongong. We hear about her experience with the course and her impressive resume with internships and jobs.   Computer Science being an area increasingly of interest and sought after, you do not want to miss this episode!   If you're listening to this on Spotify or Apple we would be so grateful if you could leave us a rating/review!   Links:   Linh Ei Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWV-hzrc7wae-gZyITY5uA/featured   Linh's video on Bachelor of Computer Science: https://youtu.be/YKehAXGtPp4   Our previous episodes: Why we started this podcast: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-vit5b-108d152   A guide to choosing your university course: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-6buyv-111a8d4      Music by jorikbasov from Pixabay   Logo & artwork by @soleil.boo on Instagram
