Francis Cope

Since 2021 I have been studying Automotive Engineering at the University of Warwick, as part of an integrated masters degree (MEng). I have recently graduated in July 2026 with a 2-1. I have spent the last three summers working retail and delivery jobs to help support myself financially at college, and I am now looking for a job or graduate scheme to start my engineering career.
