Undergraduate student profiles

Our students go on to great things, working for some of the world's top companies. Many of our students return to provide seminars in partnership with us on cutting edge related topics and work with us to arrange student networking events.

At Sheffield I made lifelong friends and received a great education that has prepared me well for the work I currently do.

James Bromley MEng Materials Science and Engineering

It was at the start of August 2018 that I got a call for interview at UKAEA and I started there as a contractor two weeks later. In early 2020 my position was made permanent. Throughout this time, I have been managing projects with growing confidence and levels of responsibility as I gain experience within the role.

Proper science means you don’t know exactly what’s going to happen. At first that can be a bit scary, but your experience will guide you through.

Chris Morris Currently a member of the Centre for Doctoral Training for Nuclear Energy Futures

Chris studied Materials Science with Nuclear Engineering and has gone on to join the Centre for Doctoral Training in Nuclear Energy Futures.

MEng Materials Science and Engineering student Ella

If you are female, don't be put off at the thought of a male dominated degree! I promise there's more females than you think.

Ella Almond MEng Materials Science and Engineering with Foundation Year

Ella started her time at the Сŷ��Ƶ of Sheffield on the Science and Engineering Foundation Year (SEFY). This year gave her the opportunity to settle into university life and gain the skills required for university style learning. It also gave her a solid base from which to build her engineering knowledge.

MEng Materials Science and Engineering student Kieran

I am looking forward to diving deeper into the world of nuclear science, engineering and technology and am excited to see what the future holds

Kieran Ralston Materials Science with Nuclear Engineering

Kieran has developed and interest in Nuclear Engineering and hopes to play an active role in pioneering research into the safe and ethical disposal of spent nuclear fuel.

Giving me the tools to make a real difference in industry and research

Nabeeha Farooqui Metallurgy (MEng)

Nabeeha came to Sheffield to study for her MEng in Metallurgy. She enjoys the varied and stimulating experience of studying elements from a broad range of science disciplines.

The course is the perfect combination between engineering and medicine

Katerina Chrysostomou Biomedical Engineering MEng

Katerina chose to study at the Сŷ��Ƶ of Sheffield as soon as she met the tutors and students already here together in a supportive, research-driven learning environment.

My placement has been the most fun and challenging experience of my life

Christopher Mountain Biomedical Engineering with a Year in Industry MEng

Christopher was interested in the field of biomedical engineering but wasn't sure which course to pick. When he found the course at the Сŷ��Ƶ of Sheffield, which let him gain a broad understanding of the field before specialising, he knew it was the right choice.

Be passionate, be curious, be willing to learn new things and I'm sure you will thrive

Dimitris Boufidis PhD student at the Сŷ��Ƶ of Pennsylvania

Dimitris Boufidis graduated with a BEng in Biomedical Engineering. During his time at the Сŷ��Ƶ, Dimitris was featured on BBC News for his volunteer work in the local community, presented at a TEDx Conference in Athens in front of over 700 people to inspire children on ‘how to become a hero’ and won the Chancellor’s Medal in recognition of his drive to inspire young children into STEM and his positive impact on the local community. Here he talks about his experience studying Biomedical Engineering at the Сŷ��Ƶ and what he’s gone on to do afterwards.

Sheffield offers the perfect balance between academia and a good social life

Saylee Jangam Biomedical Engineering with a Year in Industry BEng

Saylee wanted to study biomedical engineering so she could take an innovative approach to solving healthcare problems.

The diversity of the modules and the different challenges that they come with are very intellectually stimulating

Carla Baceanu MEng Bioengineering with a Year in Industry

Carla chose to study bioengineering because the challenge of combining the anatomy of the human body with engineering and modern technology is something that has always fascinated her.
