Engineering is a STEM field which means that it’s considered essential in the development of various sectors. Therefore Engineering graduates will find that they’re in great demand amongst employers, including some big name brands. Without engineers creating the products, these major corporations wouldn’t have a product to market and sell; so engineering is vital in today’s landscape.

There are so many areas of speciality which span various sectors and industries, so you’ll find that you can really dig deep into one industry. However, you may be able to transition between a few different industries and forms of engineering (possibly with further training and education). Because the world is always changing, new products need to be created to meet these changes and fresh needs of individuals. Therefore, engineering is a constantly exciting field, even if you stick to just one field.

From an immigration perspective, international graduates in the STEM fields are in a stronger position to find a graduate role to remain in the country they studied.

Engineering is all about problem-solving, an affinity for this is key. Those with a strong analytical mind make for excellent engineers and really prosper in the field. If you’re someone who constantly questions why things are the way they are, you’ll be asking the questions others aren’t asking and you’ll find new opportunities which others wouldn’t.

Creativity and imagination are also vital in envisaging how finished products may look, especially when creating something from absolutely nothing. Projects can be massive in scale depending on the company you’re working for, the sector and the final product, especially if you work for a globally-recognised company; so the ability to work well in a team is essential.
