Engineers are employed in sectors from transport and construction to food, medicine and even the space industry. As engineering today is linked closely with technology, the demand for qualified engineers is on the rise thanks to the speed technology is advancing. You'll test out the theory in practical sessions at our £12m technology centre. Working in electronics labs, computer aided design suites, workshops and well equipped science labs, you'll access specialist equipment throughout your course.
I have always been interested in learning how to build, fix and make things, so Engineering was the ideal course for me to study at Merton. Ruth Athena Persada, Engineering Student
Engineering - Level 2
Ruth liked the atmosphere at Merton, as well as the range of topics that our Engineering courses offered.
Ruth said: "I was curious to explore different areas of STEM, find out how engineering differed to science and learn how to build, fix and make things. All the teachers are so helpful, patient and calm, always on hand to help. I am taking it one step at a time and my ambition is to go into a Geology career one day."
Ruth has since progressed to Level 3 in her Engineering course.
