UWE Engineering is proud to announce that three of its outstanding students have been selected for the Royal Academy of Engineering’s prestigious Engineering Leaders Scholarships (ELS). The programme provides support for undergraduates in UK Higher Education Institutions, who display the potential to become leaders and innovators in engineering and who want to become leadership role models for the next generation of engineers.
Massive congratulations go to:
- Kate Wheatley, Aerospace Engineering Degree Apprenticeship
- Leia Wright, MEng Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies
- Neha Master, BEng Aerospace Engineering
Congratulations also go to UWE Visiting Professor John Armstrong, who supported the three students and is thrilled by their success.
