I have obtained advanced engineering knowledge and an understanding of the industrial working environment.

The placement gave me confidence in the transferability of the skills I have developed and refined throughout my PhD.

My placement was really successful, even more successful than I imagined it would be.

I highly recommend HDR candidates to consider industry placements

I would strongly recommend the placement experience to any HDR student wishing to gain deeper perspectives about the value of the skills they develop in their studies.

A placement is simply an experience, and with each experience, you learn more about yourself

It is an exceptional experience, make sure you do it in a place that you admire, with people that you want to work with, and in an ideal setting.

I think a placement experience is valuable for everyone regardless of where they go after completing their PhD.

It helped me to understand what aspects of work I enjoy and find important, which is very valuable while considering what pathway to take after my PhD.
