Hear from our students
Discover more about student life at Leeds by hearing from some of our current students who share their stories.
"I think the best aspect are the modules and having to be a part of Formula Student, I understand and enjoy them. They are great fun for me, especially second year modules, they seem more targeted to vehicles and I enjoy that, it makes things more visual and practical and that’s one huge way in which I learn."
"On a professional level I think I have learned a lot of new skills and improved the ones that I already had thanks to University. I learned how to develop a product in the Industry, the time it takes, the workflow, the regulations needed. I learned how to communicate with end-users and conduct user tests. Overall a greater understanding on my job as a product designer, a real world feeling of what it means to be a product designer, and a lot of human and technical skills."
Martha Hayward talks about her experience studying Medical Engineering MEng, BEng with a focus on her industrial placement year at GSK.
"My major project during third year was very different to anything I’d done before on the course. I was looking into loading and biomechanical properties of the intervertebral discs in the spine. This was a really hands on project that allowed me to get experience with dissection in the microbiology labs and in the mechanical engineering labs with the spine simulator."
"My entire university experience has helped my personal development in terms of providing me with the necessary tools to accomplish my career goals. Access to state of the art facilitates, equipment and in particular the willingness of staff and faculty to offer additional levels of academic and personal support at the university provided me an environment where I felt confident, I would succeed in whichever chosen field."
