Engineering
“When I was looking for a course in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, a little internet research brought the name of Uxbridge College to the fore as an ideal place to study. I have learned so much including the importance of taking decisions quickly and efficiently, how much detailed thinking goes into designing a project. I have also gained a huge amount of practical knowledge, and broadened my communication skills by meeting so many different people.
The tutors are open to student feedback so they understood our needs and what we wanted out of the course. The teaching style is so friendly, helpful and interesting. The lecturers understand the importance of being constantly in contact with industry and arranged a number of outside visits. This course has given me much more than textbook knowledge. Uxbridge College provides an ideal atmosphere for learning.
I am now finishing a BEng (Hons) at Hertfordshire University – I was accepted in the 4th year on the basis of my achievements – and hoping to do an MEng at Oxford University.”
