The University of Manchester has consistently shown itself to be a provider of good quality engineering graduates and I would definitely consider it to be in our 'top 10' universities.
As the field of Engineering is wide and diverse, so are the career opportunities on offer. From the conception of new ideas, planning and maintenance, or the managing of complex products and constructions, Engineering is an exciting profession, one in which an individual can take pride. It is a profession that can enable a graduate to broaden their horizons and realize their potential.
