There are many words which can be used to describe today and the rest of my time here in Malaysia, a select few of those words would be: incredible, surreal, spectacular… The list goes on, but most of all: humid. The humidity has been a real challenge for all of us; we’ve found ourselves running from one air-conditioned building to the next, and so on. Luckily this morning, after a 6am start, we had our first experience of a partially bearable outdoor temperature.

A great experience on our first week in TIME was visiting their Menara AIMS Data Centre in Kuala Lumpur city. It is owned by TIME and is currently one of the biggest data centres in Malaysia. Despite the high level of security in the building, we managed to get a tour of all the levels and learn about the centre’s safety measurements, cabling, cooling system and operation – all of which are important aspects of engineering.

It all started on Saturday 18 August at Heathrow Airport, when 12 of us headed to our internship at TIME dotcom Berhard, in Malaysia’s capital city: Kuala Lumpur. Our group is a mixture of Business School and Engineering students going into our final year of our undergraduate degrees at the University of Sussex.

Most of us did not even know each other before the internship and we all introduced ourselves to each other during the long flights to Doha (Qatar) and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). This long journey was a great ice-breaker and gave us all the opportunity to get to know each other a bit.

Sussex MBA students took a four-day study trip to Madrid in March 2018 to learn more about management in government, business and research and to meet with Sussex Alumni based in the city.

My study abroad experience

Arkansas, US

Arkansas, US

by Evelin Potocnik, University of Arkansas, US

Without the Erasmus grant I wouldn’t have even thought about going abroad to the USA because I knew that the costs are very high. I wanted the experience but I didn’t want to go into debt for going on a year abroad, and Erasmus grant helped me to do so. For me, the study abroad experience was invaluable, because I took it as a ‘new start’; as a chance to do the things that I may have regretted not doing during my first two years at university. It was also a chance to try new things that might not be available at my university.

A third of all food produced is wasted globally.

By Claire Tymoshyshyn and Kirsty Bryant (members of the Business School Green Impact team)

How can we help to reduce the amount of food thrown into Landfill?

Globally, a third of all food produced is wasted, and in the UK, households – which are responsible for half of all food waste – bin over £12bn of edible food per year, at a cost of £700 to the average family. Food waste is also costly for local stores and councils, and ranks as one of the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases.
