Beejal Shah
MEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering
"I guess my interest in engineering has always been there, a strong natural curiosity with how things are designed and put together. In any case, GCSE Electronics was really the first practical application of this curiosity in my schooling, and I loved it! I knew I wanted to pursue this interest further and that’s how I arrived at an MEng (Hons) degree in Electronics Engineering. I also wanted to study, live in and experience a big city, so ever practical and with an eye to the future, I chose UMIST, a university well recognised for its close and strong links into industry. "
