Joe receives Dovre scholarship to support his automotive engineering career
Joe Butler (21) is in the final year of BEng Automotive Engineering, following a 14-month placement with Bosch. Joe was awarded a Dovre scholarship last year, and says it had a huge impact on his learning.
"The Dovre award enabled me to be less dependent on part-time work to support myself and have more control over the number of hours I have been working. It allowed me to allocate more time to my final year project centred around recalibrating a car, which is related to the career I am hoping to go into. I gained valuable knowledge that has enriched my academic experience and will give me more relevant experience when I go into the working world."
"I would highly recommend applying for the Dovre award. The resources are very easily accessible, and the staff are well equipped to support you with your application. It is a fantastic award and something that has really given me confidence in that my hard work and dedication in my degree has been recognised and rewarded."
The Dovre Excellence scholarship provides two £1,000 awards to final year Engineering students. Applications close at noon on Friday 14 May 2021.
