MEET A STUDENT
Join Henrik as he takes us along with him on a day in his life as a chemical engineering student here at Manchester.
Watch him attend a lecture about the nuclear fuel cycle, use the informal study spaces, and take part in a problem-solving workshop with coursemates, lecturers and supervisors.
Explore his favourite food spots in Manchester and take on his friends in a game of badminton!
"I did a year in industry in a research and development team. I was able to bring a lot of the theory taught in the first two years and put it into practice. I got to develop soft skills as well which are harder to gain at university.”
“My inspiration for getting into Chemical Engineering was Carl Bosch, the chemical engineer who scaled up Haber's process and changed the world.”
“I completed a research internship in chemical engineering. This experience has helped me to decide that I want to pursue a career in research. I am passionate about the field of chemical engineering and I am excited to continue my studies in this area.”
ALL ABOUT INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCE
Where do our students find themselves doing a year in industry, or graduating? What is life like in that 12-months away from campus? What advantages does it provide future you?
Meet Dr James Winterburn - Lecturer, Industrial Experience Lead, and the person who can answer all your questions. You'll also hear from a student about their first hand experience!
