New route for future engineers

New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering (NMITE) will be the host for a prestigious Leverhulme Emeritus Research Grant to observe its pioneering ‘Learning without Lectures’ technique as it is put into practice.

Mary Kenyon—James previously worked as a Mental Health Nurse for both the NHS and the private sector. Following this, Mary has spent the past 16 years in the Further and Higher Education sectors using her wealth of experience to support young people. We now welcome Mary as Head of Student Experience at NMITE, and for Mental Health Week (which takes place this year between 18th -24th May), she gives us her thoughts on why it is so important to be kind.

Abu-Huraira Ishfaq, member of the Pioneer Cohort, shares his experiences of NMITE so far. He talks about his background and how he found NMITE and the possibility of becoming an engineer as well as some of the highlights of his first few months of study.
