Experience at the University

The MSc in Communication Engineering in the University of Manchester was the only degree I saw, which was not too specialised in one area but which gave a broader understanding in the communication engineering field, yet it also covered those areas in depth to match a postgraduate knowledge level. And Manchester is one of the most popular student cities in the Europe which I really enjoyed during my stay.

The course had a very good balance of thought modules and project work. Most of the lecturers were extremely knowledgeable and also friendly enough for me to learn the subject well from them. During my final project the supervisor always helped me out in my work and guiding me. The course definitely enhanced my knowledge in some of the key areas in communication engineering.

The MSc from Manchester helped me in getting an offer for a graduate programme at a technology division in an Investment Bank. In a year where the jobs has been the hardest to come by for graduates its shows Manchester University is considered among the best by the employers. Once I finish my MSc work I will decide in which path to take my career.
