I loved the idea of Chemical Engineering being an applied course where I can see how the content I am learning would be used in industry.<\/p>\n<p>Being from nearby, I always loved coming to visit Manchester especially for concerts at the Manchester Academy and Castlefield Bowl venues. When I came for an open day at the uni I got to see the state-of-the-art Chemical Engineering facilities they have here and knew it was going to be my first choice!<\/p>\n<h3>Are there any modules or research in your course that you have particularly enjoyed?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;background: white;vertical-align: baseline\"><span style=\"color: #201f1e\">My favourite modules have been those I have selected in my final year. I had the opportunity to study topics related to sustainability and energy, sectors that I would like to follow a career in. These modules included The Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Sustainable Energy Systems. I also really enjoyed my third-year design project as it allowed me to bring together all the knowledge that I had learnt throughout my first few years at university and experience what large scale projects in industry will entail. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What have you decided to research as part of your final project?<\/h3>\n<p>My final year project is looking at how we can use the different components of microalgae biomass to produce biofuels and other useful chemicals. I am focusing on modelling the carbon footprints of these techniques to assess their environmental sustainability with the aim to create profitable microalgae biorefineries.<\/p>\n<h3>What advice would you give for future students on picking their final project topic and any top tips?<\/h3>\n<p>My top tips for picking your final project topic would be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have a think about what modules\/topics you have studied throughout your degree that you have really enjoyed and see what projects align with these.<\/li>\n<li>If there is a specific engineering sector you would like to follow a career in, choosing a project related to that sector will give you some good talking points in cover letters and interviews, as well as possible insights into the industry.<\/li>\n<li>Do a little bit of research before hand to make sure you understand what the project will be covering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/ceasblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2021\/05\/Amy2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1009\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/ceasblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2021\/05\/Amy2.jpg\" alt=\"Amy stood with a netball team, wearing bibs with positions on\" width=\"750\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/ceasblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2021\/05\/Amy2.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/ceasblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2021\/05\/Amy2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>What has your student experience been like outside of your course?<\/h3>\n<p>This year I am captaining the Chemical Engineering netball team which I have been a member of throughout my degree. We train once a week and play matches in the Campus League as well as getting together for socials throughout the year! It has been a great way for me to meet people on the course and get a bit of exercise in the week!<\/p>\n<p>Throughout my degree, I have lived in the Fallowfield\/Withington district which is a big student area just outside the city centre. There is always lots going on around here and it has great links into the city and other areas of Manchester.<\/p>\n<p>During my third year of uni, I was a member of the Chemical Engineering Society committee. My role as Frank Morton Secretary involved me organising Manchester\u2019s involvement in the annual Frank Morton event, a sports day and big night out for Chemical Engineering students from unis across the UK.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1010\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1010\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" ><a
