It’s been 17 years since I graduated from Manchester but the basic engineering skills I learned on the four-year MEng course have helped me every step of the way through my career, from working on noise, vibration and harshness at Jaguar Cars and the automotive consultancy MIRA to my current role in race engineering at Audi Sport. Engineering is an ever-changing field with new challenges every day. At Manchester I had the opportunity to explore many diferent fields that have since overlapped into my working life. Since leaving University I have learnt so much and, had it not been for my choice of degree, I don’t think I could have achieved as much as this. And there’s still so much I want to achieve. There are still a lot more Le Mans races and world championships to win!
