Graduate career paths
Did you graduate between 1992 and 1997 with a physics, engineering, construction or architecture degree?
If you did Loughborough University would like to hear from you. Academics in the Department of Civil and Building Engineering are conducting research into career paths. Anyone who graduated from a UK university between 1992 and 1997 with a physics, engineering, construction or architecture related degree or higher degree can take part in the study by completing a short questionnaire.
The survey will be carried out during October and will cover topics on
educational background, current and past employment and work life balance.
From the questionnaire the research team are hoping to gain an insight
into career development paths and employment conditions in engineering
related disciplines.
Survey respondents will be entered into a prize draw where the first prize
is a £50 voucher.
If you are interested in taking part or want to find out more, please contact Abigail Powell, Research Associate in the Department of Civil and Building Engineering by calling 01509 228741 or emailing A.Powell@lboro.ac.uk
