Why Choose Miva?
For Emmanuella, choosing Miva Open University was a deliberate decision rooted in the need for flexibility. “I chose to study at Miva mainly because of the flexibility it allows me to enjoy. I like the fact that I can study whenever I want to.”
Her passion for technology and its boundless opportunities led her to pursue computer science. “It’s limitless,” she explains. “I can branch out into any field of tech I want to later on without setbacks.” Looking ahead, she is particularly drawn to artificial intelligence and blockchain.
On to Passions
Beyond academics, Emmanuella has a profound love for music, a passion deeply rooted in her upbringing. “I grew up with music around me,” she recalls. “Mum singing, dad singing—even though we would really appreciate it if he didn’t.”
Singing, for her, is more than a hobby—it’s therapeutic. Whether she’s sad, stressed, or in need of motivation, music helps her find balance. Despite her talent, Emmanuella has no plans to turn it into a career. “If I start monetising it, it won’t hold the same meaning,” she shares.

Emmanuella’s experience at Miva extends beyond academics. She is an active participant in study groups and has built a strong network of friends across various cohorts, departments, and states. Her favourite course this semester? Introduction to Software Engineering, which she finds refreshingly stress-free.
