Case Study
Tom began his career with MBDA in July
2003 with a 3-month summer placement prior
to the final year of his MEng degree.
"I spent my summer working in the Strategic
Change and Quality Department which gave
me very valuable insights into the workings
of a multinational defence company and aided
my final year no end. I enjoyed my placement
so much that when I was offered a place on
the graduate scheme I was very pleased."
"I've certainly gained valuable experience
from placements within different departments
across the company, giving me a very broad
knowledge of the organisation and how it
operates. The overall training within MBDA
is of a very high standard, with excellent
opportunities for learning languages and
a range of work-related skills. The mentor
scheme also works well - its there if you need
it and the advice is always impartial."
