BSc Electrical Engineering, 1971

Why did you choose to study at the University of Edinburgh?

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.

MSc Advanced Power Engineering, 2022

Why did you choose to study at the University of Edinburgh?

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

What path has your career taken since graduation?

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.

MEng Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, 2021

Why did you choose to study at the University of Edinburgh?

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.

MEng Electronics and Electrical Engineering, 2019

Why did you choose to study at the University of Edinburgh?

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.
