Year in Industry: Student Experiences & RES Social

Join the Renewable Energy Society and Peter Connor for an evening exploring the benefits of taking a Year in Industry as part of your degree.

Hear from two Renewable Energy Engineering students sharing their placement experiences:

Reece Richards – Arup, a global engineering consultancy.
Shareen Mahmood – Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).

The session will include an introduction from Peter Connor, student presentations and a Q&A covering placement experiences, professional development and advice for students considering a Year in Industry.

RES Social Afterwards!

After the presentation, join us for an informal social to meet fellow students, get to know the Renewable Energy Society and continue the conversation.

We're planning to head to the Stannary or another nearby venue, with the final location to be confirmed.
