Faculty of Engineering

A graduate with a degree from the Faculty of Engineering, Robert was unemployed in January 2011. At university he thought about what he wanted to do but didn't take any action until after he had completed his degree and as a consequence struggled to find work. When re-surveyed he had secured a graduate role with a telecommunications company, a role which he enjoys and finds intellectually stimulating.

Robert recognises that he didn't have a very active approach to career planning but now believes he should have gained relevant work experience and investigated careers earlier and not waited until he had graduated.
