I got access to experienced engineers across many disciplines which provided invaluable help for my dissertation
The opportunity to be given responsibility and new areas to learn vastly improved me as an engineer

I worked as a site engineer on a multi-million pound project and co-ordinated the County Council’s Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Strategy. I had the assurance of a graduate role so in my final year I was able to solely focus on my studies with the additional benefit of a bursary to support me.
The standout benefit for me is the variety of work. Also, the bursary money certainly helps
