There are many opportunities to get involved with the department too. I have been a Programme Representative for my course every year of my degree. This role involved collecting student feedback for the department to constantly improve student experience. There is also an interdepartmental sports programme. I took part in events such as dodgeball and basketball during my first and second years and these are a great way to get to know people on your course.
My greatest achievement was being Team Leader of a Group Design Project where we had to design a new vehicle following a similar process to that in industry of creating a Concept Report, Design Report and doing a presentation. I found this challenging but also extremely rewarding, and it allowed me to massively grow in confidence and develop key skills necessary for industry.
After completing my MEng, I hope to get a graduate job working for a motorsport or automotive company. I haven’t completely decided on the area, but I feel this degree and the variety in the modules has shaped me into a well-rounded engineer so I am not limited in what I can apply for.
I would recommend applying for this course! It will give you so many invaluable skills for a successful career as an engineer. There are so many great opportunities to develop both personally and academically.
