Undergraduate Engineer Review

I study at university two days a week and work in a global engineering team 3 days a week. university modules cover general engineering for the first two years then we specialise in year 3 and 4. depending on the work rotation, you could be designing circuits, developing software, creating CAD designs etc

I have learnt a lot about basic electronics concepts like diodes, op amps, transistors. I have developed my coding skills in python. I have learnt how to use various pieces of software like multisim. I have learnt a lot about engineering thinking and developed my leadership skills.

I am loving the programme, it's been an awesome experience so far. everyone is super helpful, kind and attentive. student support is incredible. there are so many people whose job it is to look after us and make sure we are having the best experience possible. the lecturers are great.

a lot of time and effort has gone into planning the programme, it's really well structured and thought out. our feedback is also really important and really readily taken into account. we can suggest things and they will be put into place speedily and easily. there are many people looking after admin things.

a lot of support. line managers are excellent and really want to help you develop and grow. hr is great at sorting out things. you get a lot of guidance with your workplace project. generally it's a really supportive culture, mistakes and learning are encouraged instead of looked down upon.

we receive an incredible amount of support. we can just go and talk to the lecturers any day, any time pretty much and they are always so supportive. they don't mind taking hours of their time out to explain stuff. we also get loads of training on soft skills

mostly the content is really relevant i think. it definitely gives us a much better overview of the basic concepts that is useful at work. i haven't put all of the theory into practice, but i think that is to be expected with any degree. i know more about my job through the qualification

there are so many things going on, there's a club on every evening and there are quite a few social events. we get a huge social budget to spend every month on buses to neighbouring cities and to subsidise activities. the company runs a lot of social things that we can get involved with

Yes

everyone is so supportive. it's just a really nice atmosphere. the people are lovely and so accepting of people's differences. discrimination doesn't seem to exist, like it would at many other unis/companies. the levels of support are insane. i like how small the uni community is

make sure you really prepare for the interviews. make sure your cv is solid and make sure your personal statement sounds amazing. research all of the company's products, research the degree apprenticeship, make sure you know the details, how the programme works. try really hard because competition is fierce
