Student Profile

Ibrahim

Graduated in 2021

"Being immersed in the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere of the city of London has broadened my horizons, exposed me to diverse perspectives, and provided unparalleled networking opportunities. Working in London as a Technical Sales Engineer at Naked Energy, a pioneering solar technology developer, allows me to thrive in the heart of innovation and collaborate with industry leaders, further enhancing my expertise and contributing to the transition towards a sustainable future."

What are you passionate about and why?
I am passionate about pursuing affordable and clean energy, precisely aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 7. My unwavering commitment to clean energy is driven by the profound global issue of energy poverty and its far-reaching impacts on socioeconomic development, particularly in marginalised communities. Witnessing the debilitating effects of energy poverty firsthand has ignited a fire within me to make a tangible difference.

How would you say your Brunel experience has helped you to get where you are today?
My Brunel experience has been nothing short of transformative. Graduating with a prestigious degree in Renewable Energy Engineering, accredited by esteemed institutions like IMechE and the Energy Institute, provided me with a solid academic foundation. Beyond academics, Brunel nurtured personal growth, fostered connections, and offered invaluable practical experience and industry collaborations. This combination of knowledge, skills, and a supportive community has propelled my career as a Technical Sales Engineer with a pioneering solar technology developer. Brunel's contribution to my achievements cannot be overstated, as it has shaped the person I am today and provided the springboard for my professional success.

Why did you choose to study at Brunel and why would you recommend Brunel to others?
I chose to study at Brunel University due to its renowned teaching and learning excellence, specifically within the MSc program in Renewable Energy Engineering. The program's accreditations from the IMechE and the Energy Institute were compelling factors. Furthermore, the university's location in London, a vibrant city, combined with its diverse international student community and exceptional accommodation services, solidified my decision.
