    I plan to further my studies at university and move to Australia to become a Mechanical Design Engineer. I would 100% recommend my course. It has taught me what I need to know to succeed.

    My course allowed me to work on real-life projects. My favourite was the redesign of the Strand Road campus estate, as part of the Project Based Learning Awards. My group’s work was selected as one of the winning projects!
