WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AFTER MY DEGREE IN MANUFACTURING AND QUALITY ENGINEERING ?
During the last twenty years interest in Manufacturing and Quality Assurance and its practice, both preventative and detective, has grown enormously. Quality has become the most important variable in the marketing mix and regularly surpasses price as the prime consideration in the purchasing decisions of many companies and consumers.
Virtually all manufacturing organisations now employ quality professionals as a key part of their operation in mechanical engineering, civil, chemical, electrical and electronic engineering, as well as the pharmaceutical, textile, chemical, and food and drink industries. The emphasis on quality has grown in the last ten years and will continue to increase in importance in all industries and across the private and public sectors with many organisations currently diverting increased resources to support QA as many of their operational environments are highly regulated.

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS WITH MY DEGREE IN INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE ?
Interior Architects and designers typically work for architectural practices or design consultancies (interior or multidisciplinary). Many are also self-employed, although it is uncommon to set up your own business without first getting experience and building up a reputation and list of contacts.
Potential clients may be in the public sector, or in private industry and commerce, and include: hotel and leisure industries, local government bodies, retailers, theatre, TV and film companies. Increasingly, however, more opportunities exist working for domestic customers in the expanding field of house interiors. This may include the restoration and/or maintenance of historically important buildings.
