'Engineering is my passion and my ambitions have always been very clear. I had an HND in Mechanical Engineering but knew that to further my career I would need a degree. Now I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering, a PhD and a job I love. None of this would have been possible without the help I received from the Plymouth University.'

What the students say 

As part of my BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering course I chose to spend a year on work placement with Plymouth based Fine Tubes - a manufacturer of precision tubes for a wide range of industries including aerospace, oil and gas, medical.  As a result of my performance the company sponsored the final year of my degree and offered me a job.
