I like the fact that I was able to study such a range of modules during my first two years.
“My highlights of the course have been taking part in the Shell Eco-marathon with the University team and my placement year at EPM Technology, where I worked with Formula 1 teams and other prestigious companies. Through direct exposure to industry I gained first-hand knowledge, putting me a step ahead in terms of employability.”
