  • Both our graduate and placement schemes focus on developing 'world class' engineers who will become the senior engineers and leaders of the future.

To guide our choice of first placement and to help you to get the most out of your year with us, you'll be asked to express a preference for one of the following streams on application:

  • Electrical Engineering
  • Systems Engineering
  • Technology Engineering

Where this career can take you

Our engineers have the opportunity to make a huge impact. A career with us can be very varied with opportunities across the whole of engineering for you to grasp.
