My name is Jiawen Shen, and I’m from China. I'm currently studying the Master’s Programme in Public Health with a specialisation in Epidemiology at KI. I chose to apply to KI because of its abundant academic resources, world-class reputation in health sciences, and the strong opportunities it offers for both research and professional development.
Being at KI has already been a fascinating experience. I really enjoy the chance to meet and work with students from many different countries, and the group work and activities are always inspiring. The diversity here creates a very open and dynamic learning environment.
During my time at KI and in Sweden, I'm most looking forward to making many new friends, enjoying life here, and learning about cultures from around the world. I also hope to experience Swedish culture and travel to different places.
In the future, I aspire to work as a researcher in public health, contributing to evidence-based solutions for global health challenges.
In my free time, I love playing badminton, walking outdoors, and travelling. A fun fact about me is that I'm always curious to explore new places—both big cities and quiet corners.
