The course offered great job prospects after graduating, and the department staff were friendly, engaging and helpful. There is an aircraft in the department atrium which was also a very attractive factor for me.

I decided to study Aeronautical Engineering because I had a passion for aviation and aerospace, and a desire to understand the intricacies of air travel. I was very keen on problem solving and analysing complex situations to get to a solution - this helped me decide to pursue the engineering sector of aerospace. Mathematics is a strong skill of mine which is what initially drew me to engineering, as well as the fact that new technology is developed every day.
