Employability

With a degree from us, you can expect to have gained a highly desirable, diverse skill set. This will include project management, teamwork, leadership, business acumen, people management, and technical expertise, setting you up for a prosperous career in engineering. 

From work experience opportunities and paid year-long industry placements, our students are exposed to countless opportunities to develop their employability. The hands-on nature of our teaching means that students get a thorough grounding in theoretical learning and are experienced in producing industry-standard practical work.

In addition to University-wide career events, the Wolfson School holds a collaborative Engineering Placements Fair with the School of Aeronautical, Automotive, Chemical and Materials Engineering. Each year over 70 employers attend, which includes major consulting and contracting companies in the UK, as well as local and specialist firms.

Our Careers Fair allows you to engage with employers to explore various career options, talk directly to recruiters, hear about upcoming roles and get company-specific information in an informal environment. Find out more about upcoming events on the Careers Network website.
