Gaining a New Perspective

Coming from a Mechanical Engineering background, studying Engineering Management introduced me to a new perspective. Through modules like Strategic Project Management and Strategic Financial Accounting, I began to understand that successful engineering projects are not only built on technical expertise, but also on leadership, planning, risk management and financial decision-making. Modules like Managing People and Managing Innovation made the experience even more meaningful, teaching me the value of teamwork, communication and the importance of adapting to emerging technologies in a constantly evolving world.

Support from My Lecturers

What truly made the experience special was the support I received from my lecturers. Their guidance, patience, and encouragement helped me navigate difficult moments and stay motivated throughout the course. Knowing there was always support available made a huge difference in my confidence and academic development.

My Post-graduation Career

Since graduating from the University of Chester with a distinction, one of the things I am most proud of is securing a role as a Piping Engineer on the Shotton Mill Paper Conversion Project in Wales. The journey from university to industry felt like a natural progression of the skills and mindset I developed during my Engineering Management studies
