I liked how many optional modules there were for customising my degree, particularly from other areas such as materials and engineering. I had a good supervisor, and this made the project work a lot of fun. The staff were always approachable and willing to share their knowledge in and out of the classroom.

I have found that the report writing and analysis skills I learned from doing the project work and various coursework has helped me in my job as an Associate Patent Examiner for the UK Intellectual Property Office, where written communication and analysing the contents of documents in a methodical and logical way is essential.
