Graduate careers

Prospective careers for graduates are very broad including the energy, biomedical, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, construction and pharmaceutical/chemical industries. Holly Powell, B.Eng. (Mech.), Masters in Mechanical Engineering: “The Masters in Mechanical Engineering allowed me to develop a well-rounded skillset which meant that I could choose from a wide range of great opportunities. Without it, I wouldn’t have had the chance to work my dream job at the forefront of the photolithography industry, where I have almost unlimited opportunities to travel and take on exciting technical challenges.
