Career opportunities
Civil Engineering stood out to me, as it was similar to architecture but more technical.
The idea of being able to use my skills to help improve the lives of others, while also advocating for sustainability in the process, caught my eye as civil engineering impacts them on such a large scale.
Bea Basa / Civil Engineer at Ferrovial
Since graduating, I have worked for AECOM where I'm now a Principal Engineer.
I also gained chartership from the Institution of Civil Engineers in 2016 which was a great achievement. Being a University of Manchester graduate definitely makes you stand out from other candidates!
