MSc Textile Technology (Technical Textiles) / Careers

Year of entry: 2024

Career opportunities

My MSc in Textile Technology equipped me to go on to not only attain a distinction, but to be awarded the top mark in my PhD in Polymer Engineering, at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

The solid training in my MSc at The University of Manchester provided a springboard to further scientific success and led me to be ranked in the global Top 2 % of scientists by Stanford University in December 2021, ranked 12th out of best 100 scholars at Unizik (2021). My Manchester experience was fantastic and led me to my current pathway of success.
