Joan Cowburn / Metallurgist / UK
Graduated in Minerals Engineering, 1999
Metallurgist at Britannia Zinc in Bristol, UK
In between the second and third year of my degree I obtained a work placement at Helsinki University of Technology in Finland. The practical aspects of my degree really helped with the work and - even before I graduated - I was offered the job of metallurgist at Britannia Zinc in Bristol. Once starting in the job it didn't take long to establish a role of real responsibility - after just six months I was already working on several major projects and thoroughly enjoying myself.
