I wanted to study engineering based subjects and UTCN had a good mixture of practical and theoretical subjects to offer. I liked the practical challenges that we got set because they gave us a real world scenario on what problems may arise in industry.

I used the one day work placement to research companies and go for work experience to see what I liked.

UTCN helped me build my confidence in interviews and to know what I’m talking about. My job is very varied, some days I go out on site and then put the information gained on to CAD.

For students who want to study engineering and possibly want to go on to an Apprenticeship, the opportunities at UTCN are second to none.
