What work experience did you do?


I did a week of work experience over at ARUP in Bristol. It was brilliant as I visited the projects they are doing in Bristol and was taught how to use the design software they use. It was brilliant. I kind of thought Civil Engineering was what I would like to do but the week really showed me how awesome Civil engineering is :-)

That's good to hear. Do you remember the name of the design software they were using by any chance? ARUP would be a great company to work for during a placement year i think.

They mainly used Infraworks and AutoCad in particular revit
1. Oxford, Bath, Durham, Warwick and Surrey
2. A*A*A*A
3. love maths and physics, so that led me to engineering. civil seemed the most appealing one and I just researched and read about it from there. :smile:

The PAT went terribly so I don't think I'll get into Oxford, but I already have an offer from Warwick so it's all good! :biggrin:

1) Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, Bristol, Bath
2) A*A*A*A* (idk if I'll actually get that... chemistry isn't looking good at the moment :P)
3) I like maths, especially mechanics, and I like buildings and bridges, so I read a bit about civil engineering and found it really interesting. It's kinda telling when you start getting excited about reinforced concrete XD
Bath, Southampton, Surrey, Sheffield, Manchester

Predicted A*AA

Lol I didn't know what to do with maths and physics a levels so after some panicking, did a bit of research into engineering. Civil eng stood out. Got a work exp placement and loved it✌️
