Adem Omeragic
Adem is in his 2nd year of studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering and will be graduating in 2027.
Why did you choose to study your programme at Queen Mary and why Queen Mary?
I chose to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering at QMUL due to the vast range of topics covered in the course, the modern teaching facilities, and the University’s strong research reputation.
What do you enjoy most about your course?
Most of all, I enjoy having the opportunity to meet people from backgrounds different to mine, and exchange interesting ideas about engineering, academia, and the world around us.
Which modules do you most enjoy and were there any academics that have a strong influence on shaping your time and studies here?
My favourite module so far has been Electronic Devices and Applications. Although gruellingly difficult at times, the sense of satisfaction upon finally achieving a working circuit in our group project, or answering a highly theoretical question correctly, is absolutely unmatched.
Riccardo Deglinnocenti has been a particularly impactful lecturer, and can mind-boggling concepts into something which is both palatable and engaging.
Are you a member of any societies or attend any industry events during your time at Queen Mary? If so which and what did you gain from them?
Last summer, I attended Connected Britain 2025 at the Excel centre. It opened my eyes to the important differences between engineering at university and engineering in Industry.
I learned about some of the newest high-tech solutions in the world of Telecoms. Most importantly, I was able to secure myself an internship at Shared Access, a Wireless Communications Engineering Company.
What kind of careers/employability support do you get during your studies?
We receive regular emails from the university updating us on the most recent opportunities in work experience, and a variety of talks and lectures which help shape our understanding of careers beyond university.
What do you hope to do after graduation?
After graduation, I would like to enter the workforce in the fields of Power Distribution or Renewables, as to me these areas are the most relevant challenges facing engineers in todays day and age.
What's one piece of advice you'd offer to someone considering studying Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Queen Mary?
Push yourself. This programme is not easy, but it is one of the most rewarding areas of study you can choose, and it opens incredible possibilities for your future.
