Patricia Xavier, Acting Academic Director, NMITE, Homegrown Engineers

Patricia Xavier has recently joined NMITE as Acting Academic Director, we chatted last week about not only our fantastic Life Changer Bursaries but also the way in which engineering is a creative subject and how at NMITE we are teaching students to be a force for good, not just for gain!

🏛️ NMITE was established with a clear mission: to create ground-breaking educational opportunities right here in Hereford. NMITE fulfils this mission by providing exceptional higher education options for the residents of Hereford, whether they are young or mature learners.

🌟 NMITE's contribution to the county is immeasurable. It has opened doors to high-quality, degree-level engineering education without the need to leave the county. Before NMITE, Hereford lacked its own universities, making this initiative incredibly important for the community.

📚 NMITE offers the best educational model by drawing inspiration from successful practices worldwide. It provides the highest quality engineering education, enabling students to graduate work-ready and equipped to make a meaningful contribution to the workforce and society, all while staying close to home.

💰 Higher education can be expensive, and easing the financial burden for students is a priority. NMITE's bursary program is exceptionally generous, one of the most generous in the entire United Kingdom. It is specifically aimed at students with roots in Hereford, underlining its commitment to the local community. Generous donors, with strong local ties, are funding this bursary to create opportunities for local individuals. It's an opportunity that shouldn't be missed.

💡 What sets NMITE students apart is their ability to be problem solvers. They excel at both thinking about engineering challenges and effectively applying their knowledge to solve them. This unique combination of skills distinguishes NMITE graduates in the world of engineering.
