The industrial placement for me was the best thing about this course, because it gave all the build-up and learning purpose into a real-life application and made this course more than just a degree.

It was amazing to have the opportunity to step into the world of work and gain experience working on real projects with real engineers and mathematicians. Seeing the summer project with RWE Renewables I had worked on materialise into something real was incredible and such a huge achievement. Being able to tell future employers of the variety of projects I’ve worked on and the experience I gained over the course of my master’s year has definitely been beneficial to my future career.
