Caitlin's story

Civil Engineering MEngAfter losing both her dad and big brother, taking a year out of her studies and navigating the challenges of University life during the pandemic, Caitlin is proudly graduating today with a Masters in Engineering after six years of studying.See more

I picked Civil Engineering because I thought I would really enjoy learning about large structures such as bridges and skyscrapers. It was the best decision I ever made and enjoying the degree made it much easier to keep going when times got tough. During my studies, I was able to attend construction site visits, Construct-Ed (1 week experience), scaled-model building competitions, conferences and award nights. For summer placements, I was able to intern at Mott Macdonald as a geotechnical engineer and at Subsea7 as an offshore structural engineer.Euan Clark
