I was fortunate and upon graduation got three different graduate job offers (all of which were in automotive). I chose to go and work for Aston Martin, which was just as I would have wished when I filled out the UCAS form four years earlier.
My year out in industry has given me a taste of technology, engineering, and business in the real world and hence, allowed me to better position myself in future career planning.
The structure of learning on my course is great. I feel as though at any point I am able to approach lecturers and ask questions about what we are learning and to talk about any problems I'm facing.
