ECS Careers HubI’ve had an amazing time at ECS. It’s such a creative environment driven by enthusiastic academics and hard-working students who share a passion for engineering. What I have achieved as an undergraduate is beyond all expectations I had before starting university and has increased my appreciation of the power of group collaboration. As we move on to the next chaper in our lives I really look forward to seeing how fellow graduates shape the world around them and how our common thread, ECS, has prepared me for a career in this fast-paced industry.
