promising academic future?

Could you help me make the following line reads better? Especially, how about the green parts? Thanks a lot.

Studying in such a unique atmosphere, I sense that I would get/obtian/gain (which is better) a solid training in this field and possess a promising academic future.

As I said before, Osee, 'too thick'! You are caught up in 'officialese' English, the impenetrable, modifier-dense language of bureaucracy and academia. Break out of it now, before you develop bad writing habits.

BTW, are you sure it is "gain solid training" without the article "a"? Thanks.
