what make studying engineering at

Cambridge special is that we teach

fundamental problem-solving Cambridge

students can be given almost any problem

and can break it right down to its

basics and solve it the course at

Cambridge starts off with two

foundational years we first teach skills

of mathematics computation and

experimentation and then secondly we

teach you all the basic skills that you

need to get through to the final two

years when you're specialized on your

dream subject I think it's a fantastic

course the Gretz

is amazing and so so useful when you get

into industry to have a bit of a feel

for all the different engineering areas

the opportunity to explore different

subjects helps the students develop an

understanding of how different topics

fit together and how to work well in

teams personally I was involved in the

Eco racing team that's a lot of work and

a lot of extra hours but at the end of

it is very rewarding experience one of

the major benefits of studying Cambridge

in the structure that we have here is

the really personal experience you get


from having supervisors and a director

of studies who are just interested in

your well-being and your academic work

Cambridge is a beautiful place to live

in with a very friendly atmosphere and

I've loved it since the day I got here

the facility is in the engineering

department are absolutely superb we've

had brand new libraries brand new

workshops we've got a whole string of 3d

printers as well as the classic steel

and punching machines the Dyson Center

is another unique facility where

students can actually design and build

prototypes of whatever idea they have

and it's just a wonderful opportunity

another particular advantage of studying

engineering at Cambridge is that we sit

at the heart of one of Europe's most

successful clusters of innovative

startup companies students here have

numerous opportunities to engage with

those innovation based activities you

will find in fourth year that everybody

is trying to recruit you there is so

many opportunities personally I'm hoping

to apply for the Graduate scheme for the

European Space Agency that's something

that's always fascinated me I'm really


interested in a career in motorsport

last year I was fortunate enough to take

here out and do a placement with a

Formula One team and that was a really

eye-opening experience

I've done a couple of internships with

rolls-royce and I've really enjoyed it

there I think I'm very likely to go

straight into an engineering company

really get into something technical but

also be involved in very large projects

that affect a lot of people and change

the world for the better through

engineering my message to anyone

thinking of applying to Cambridge would

be just go for it we really welcome

anybody who is smart and wants to work

hard is a really good place to study

engineering and it's really enjoyable

whatever happens you will have a

fantastic four years at Cambridge
