It is the industrial experience you gain with a UKESF scholarship that can give you the edge over other students, making you unique from the perspective of an employer. UKESF enables you to develop your skills by experiencing first-hand what it is like to work in the electronics sector, meet like-minded people and network with industry colleagues.
