What our students say

Jacob who was awarded the Thomas Daisy Walker Scholarship

I realised the future of engineering is going to be electric

Jacob Electrical and Electronic Engineering

After doing an apprenticeship in Mechanical Engineering, Jacob decided he wanted his future to be in Electronic and Electrical Engineering. As a mature student (over 21 years of age) he was eligible to apply for, and was successful in his application for, the Thomas and Daisy Walker Scholarship which provides £3,000 a year for each year of the degree programme. He very kindly agreed to share his individual pathway to university and how the scholarship will help him make the most of his time with us.

Becoming President of EEE Soc allowed me to put my ideas into action.

Ellie MEng Electronic Engineering

Ellie chose to study with EEE due to her interest in how electronics in computer systems work and in her third year was elected as President of the department's student society EEE Soc.

My advice to students considering EEE is to DO IT!

Mekhola Electrical and Electronics Engineering with a Year in Industry (MEng)

Mekhola chose to study EEE after an internship sparked her interest in all things electronic and electrical which has led to her position as a Graduate engineer at ARM. While at University she enjoyed a year's placement at Rolls Royce and was awarded the Frank Benson prize for her involvement in promoting STEM in outreach activities.

A BEng in Sheffield has led to a DPhil in Oxford

Jianeng BEng Electronic Engineering

The world class experience Jianeng enjoyed at the University of Sheffield has enabled him to pursue his career at the University of Oxford. Jianeng joined us as an international student from China, and completed a BEng in Electronic Engineering.

The support of staff and exposure to industry helped me to plan my career path

Shijia Electronic and Communications Engineering BEng

Shijia gained a first class BEng in Electronic and Communications Engineering and chose to continue his studies at University College London studying an MSc in Finance. The exposure to industry during his time at Sheffield combined with the support from his tutors helped him to decide to pursue a career in the technology, media and telecom industry.
