My course
In materials you cover a wide range of topics, my advice is to try and embrace all the different modules to give the widest amount of experience, it truly does help you understand what area you later want to specialise in.
While I enjoyed my modules and projects, some standouts were automotive crash protection, advanced materials characterisation, and my final year project. However, one of my most memorable experiences was the group design project. I thoroughly enjoyed designing, modelling, and presenting our product. This project was an excellent opportunity to apply various skills and collaborate with my peers.
For me the most exciting things were based in the lab, getting hands on with the equipment available always the most fun and interesting.
