Gaailashwaran Piruthiviraj Chemical Engineering with an Industrial Placement Year MEng

Having just completed an Industrial Placement Year at Air Products, Hersham, Gaailashwaran talks about his fantastic experience and what he gained from it.

Congratulations to Tobias Kunz who has recently been awarded the Engineering Leaders Scholarship from the Royal Academy of Engineering.

Tobias Kunz MEng Materials Science and Engineering

The Engineering Leaders Scholarships (ELS) programme provides support for undergraduates in UK Higher Education Institutions, who display the potential to become leaders and innovators in engineering, and who want to become leadership role models for the next generation of engineers.

Biomedical Engineering means a future of better healthcare. I'm very happy to be studying this degree!

Evelyn Sofia Correa Diaz Biomedical Engineering (BEng) with an Industrial Placement Year

Originally from Colombia, Evelyn arrived to find a small city, close to a wonderful hiking space and brimming with opportunity! Now, she acts as the Outreach Officer for the Engineering Without Borders Society where she goes into schools to inspire children into discovering the passion that she has for STEM.

Opportunity for collaboration with other engineers teaches you about the way the industry operates.

Chloe Skidmore MEng Materials Science and Engineering

Chloe has just completed her final year studying for MEng Materials Science and Engineering. Soon she will be starting as a Trainee Patent Attorney in the Engineering, Manufacture and Consumer Products team at Reddie and Grose LLP

The diversity of my degree has provided me with the flexibility needed to be involved in the many different tasks that my job requires.

Sam McGowan MEng Materials Science and Engineering

Since graduating in 2021 Sam is now working for Jacobs (a nuclear engineering consultancy) as a Materials Graduate. As well as task managing a project Sam is also involved with materials testing and research.

I really enjoyed the artifacts project as it gave us the opportunity to conduct our own research and present the findings at the end.

Christine Thorogood BEng Materials Science and Engineering

Christine took part in the SURE scheme where they spent 6 weeks working with researchers from the University making novel cathodes for sodium ion batteries. "The fact that I had done this project put me in a really unique position where I had relevant experience before graduating my degree."
