Newcastle University is Siemens "Preferred Partner"
Dr John Appleby attended Siemens' university engagement event in London on Monday 15th October, held at the company’s new sustainability showcase building, the Crystal. Dr Jeff Neasham of the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering and Ingrid Henderson of the Careers Service also attended.
As part of Siemens' Graduate workstream, the company has formed a UK University Engagement Strategy to engage proactively with targeted universities across the UK. Newcastle University is now one of only seven UK universities recognised as 'Preferred Partners' by Siemens, who are seeking to develop both graduate recruitment and research links with our engineering schools, especially Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.
It is hoped that the collaboration with Siemens at local and national level will result in the setting up of student internships, graduate recruitment, sponsorship, and further research opportunities in addition to several existing links in each of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.
