Tomos Morgan MSc Engineering Project Management
"I found the course really interesting, it had a good level of detail and prepared me well for the workplace. I was lucky enough to gain a full-time contract as a manufacturing engineer which enabled me to apply what I had learnt. All of this has enabled me to secure a place on one of the top graduate engineering training programmes in the country as a graduate project manager."
