Civil Engineering Degree Apprentice Review

Engineering predominantly doing structural design work for large scale projects within the nuclear sector.

Improved my design work and carried out designs in new areas. Improved my communication and presentation skills.

I have enjoyed getting the on the job experience alongside getting my degree. I have worked on a lot of similar projects so would enjoy a change to get a wider variety of experience.

There are always issues at the start of each term with timetables and ensuring that the part timers can get all the sessions that they need. Once that is sorted, the programme structure runs well.

I have been given extra time to work on my uni studies especially in my later years where my workload was higher.

There has been a couple of sessions ran with the ICE but we haven't had the number of meetings between uni, myself and my work line manager as we were told and there hasn't been information circulated yet as to what support will be available after graduation.

It has helped with my understanding of engineering, however the large majority of what I have covered in uni has not been relevant to my job role.

There are sports and social events, lunch and learn session and knowledge sharing events that you can attend as well as funding to attend organisation conferences and wider industry events.

Just be yourself in your interview and don't try and force examples to the questions. The interviewers want to see if you would align with the team and the company.
