Few in India know that in the UK electrochemical nanoparticle engineers hold some of the most well acknowledged and highly paid jobs. What do these engineers do? Some make silicon chips, smartphones , and high-end integrated circuits while others contribute to pharmaceuticals; still others to oil, petroleum, and gas sectors, or to the chemical and power sector. They are extremely skilled professionals and can branch out to any of these fields after completing their term. One thing that is absolutely imperative in this relatively complex stream is to have sound numerical and quantitative skills and to grasp the essence of logic, argument, and science.

Newcastle University: A world-class hub for postgraduate training

At Newcastle University all electrochemical engineers without exception get placements in leading industries such as Glaxo SmithKline, Exxon, BP Solar, Siemens, Pilkington. Since the university believes that a convergence of nationalities always pushes one’s horizons back, the atmosphere in the campus is such that students receive global exposure and there is an exchange of diverse cultures.

Newcastle University has a large and well-balanced faculty for humanities, science, medicine, cancer research, clean gas, production and marine engineering, pure mathematics, music, and a host of others. They teach their students to build productive networking skills and sharpen their thoughts. Students coming from different corners of the world may have completely different points of view on subjects, but the scope for human relations, negotiations, social adaptability, and exposure becomes that much broader.
