“I work as a Design Engineer with involvement across a lot of projects as well as working with various other teams. I was keen to choose a course that would enable me to apply my learning to practical solutions in the real world. Engineering Management connects to my day to day job and gives me a field to elevate my thoughts above design engineering and see the bigger picture of the engineering sector. For example, the people side of things; as engineers, we sometimes forget the importance of this. I really like how the course has balanced the technicalities with the management aspects of engineering, which has enabled me to see how the management function helps to drive the technical productivity.”

“I think that the combination of having the course delivered online, as well as the support from the University of Leeds staff has been a real bonus. In addition to having the flexibility to catch up on recorded webinars when I cannot attend, this course overall gives me the opportunity to study and complete my assignments when my time permits me to do so.”

My background is in electronic and electrical engineering, and I have always been interested in using AI and machine learning models to enhance the performance of electric vehicles, and particularly electric batteries.

I felt that the course could be a really powerful tool for me to develop my knowledge of the subject.

I chose to study this course online because it allowed me to keep my job while being able to pursue the Masters. I work better as an independent learner, so I felt that online learning is something that’s better suited for me.

One of the biggest reasons that I wanted to study Artificial Intelligence online with the University of Leeds was because I’m interested in cognition, consciousness and learning, and AI seemed to be the perfect, innovative study topic for me.

I was looking to develop my knowledge, but throughout the course I realised that there is so much opportunity to apply it in developing the company that I currently run.
