Discover the benefits of studying locally from Chloe Dunnet, who worked full-time as a Maintenance Technician at @SiemensGamesa while studying our BEng (Hons) Energy Engineering course at @UHI_NWH Thurso campus. Learn about engineering courses: bit.ly/4eLMKdi

ALT A person (Chloe Dunnet) with a plus behind them and a blue background with the text: Studying while working full time and living at home...allowed me to have amazing holidays and experiences which I wouldn’t have had if I moved away for university. I currently work as a Maintenance Technician at Siemens Gamesa on an offshore windfarm. I wanted to get involved in the renewable sector, and now I go offshore to carry out work on wind turbines. Whilst I've found that the real learning happens in the workplace, when you are using equipment, fault finding and digging deeper into systems, none of this would be possible without the foundations and knowledge I gained at UHI. Chloe Dunnett studied the BEng (Hons) Energy Engineering at our Thurso campus.

There’s a lot of very good work happening and promising examples exist, but services are slipping and we need to radically alter our approach to intervention if we want to come out the back of this period with anything like a sustainable population and just transition.
