At the moment, I don’t know what my career ambitions are, but I like to think I have a wide range of options still available and I think my course lends itself towards this.
I like sport, engineering and being creative – so hopefully something that covers those bases. My course definitely ticks those boxes, so hopefully I wind with a job that does too.
To anyone considering this course, I would say it’s very much an engineering degree (I think some of my course mates underestimated that aspect), but it’s incredibly well-rounded. I believe it opens doors into so many areas, giving you skills and insight into the entirety of a product development cycle, as well as skills to take ideas forward from a business perspective.
I would say, so far, my greatest achievement was writing and publishing my book. The majority of this was done throughout my second year and placement year. At many points I was required to put more time into that than my degree, and with no set deadlines, I had to be very self-motivated. It’s been incredibly rewarding though.
