Since graduation, I have worked in two different roles, one as an engineering consultant in the surfactants industry (Stepan Company) and one as a project manager in the specialty chemicals and fermentation industry (Lonza Specialty Ingredients). I have also obtained my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification in the last few years.

Choosing a University to study at was not easy. However, I decided to pick Edinburgh because:

I chose Edinburgh after visiting several University open days. I liked the city, campus, and the department was well rated. 

As a European student who applied before the Brexit vote, I chose to study at the University of Edinburgh because of its relatively high ranking and low fees. Other options I was considering were a number of universities in the UK as well as the more conventional engineering path in my home country, France.

I chose to study at the University of Edinburgh because I wanted to delve into the sustainable energy industry but felt I lacked the foundational knowledge. The University's intriguing research and facilities (such as Flowave Ocean Energy Research Facility) captured my interest.

Additionally, the allure of the stunning city of Edinburgh sealed the deal for me!

Primarily, Edinburgh is a great place to live. Not only is the city really beautiful, there are events happening all year round and loads of opportunities to explore Scotland. The engineering programme had a broad range of options which was key for me as I didn't want to specialise too early.

During my third year of study, I decided to change career path from the field of civil engineering to data science. I applied to many places in Europe, and got an offer to join Amazon for a data science internship in Luxembourg.

First and foremost I absolutely love Edinburgh as a city! The opportunity to study at such a prestigious institution and one of the best universities in the UK, while living in such an incredible city, was an opportunity I will forever be thankful for.

I wanted to work on historic buildings conservation, but my background was in STEM subjects. The University of Edinburgh's MEng Structural Engineering with Architecture course was a great match, since I could study architectural history and design.

I graduated with first class honours MEng Civil Engineering from the University of Edinburgh in the summer of 2013. A couple of months before graduation I secured interviews with several different engineering and construction companies and was offered a graduate structural engineer position with Wardell Armstrong in their Edinburgh office.

I was born and grew up in Edinburgh, and wanted to study physics or engineering. It was a choice between the University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt, or the universities of Glasgow or Strathclyde. Edinburgh was first choice for its reputation in physics and engineering.

Because it is the leading university in innovation in my field: power systems engineering and energy modelling.

I got my job at a leading company in my field. I am now working on cutting-edge software technology and on revolutionary projects with GE.

I loved maths and physics and knew I wanted to study something in that area at university. Engineering sounded interesting but as I hadn't studied it at school I wasn't sure what it involved and struggled to decide on a particular track.

As a European student who applied before the Brexit vote, I chose to study at the University of Edinburgh because of its relatively high ranking and low fees. Other options I was considering were a number of universities in the UK as well as the more conventional engineering path in my home country, France.

I was interested in the elective subjects (bioelectronics) and in general had heard good things about the University.
