University of Strathclyde’s Engineering Gala, organised by students is returning for 2023

Our Gala Dinner is in its eighteenth year and has become more prestigious and popular each year, now noted as an annual event for both students and companies alike. The aim of the Gala is to bring together leading engineering employers with sought after students, academics and alumni from the Faculty of Engineering. It is a unique event in the UK, providing an opportunity for the engineering professionals and academics of today, to meet with those who aspire to follow in their footsteps. The Gala Dinner has proven to be an extremely useful tool for many companies in finding the Graduates best suited for their company. With approaching 40 tables sponsored by a variety of companies from different disciplines of engineering, a total of 400 guests attended last year’s event. This year's Gala Dinner will be held on Monday 23rd October 2017 at the Hilton Hotel, Glasgow. With the growing success and reputation of Gala we anticipate this year's event to be a great success!

06/03/2026

The Engineering Gala Dinner last year was a huge success, and we are on the hunt for a new committee to run the 2026 event!

The Gala's aim is to bring together leading engineering employers with high performing students, academics, and alumni from the University of Strathclyde's Faculty of Engineering. It is a unique event in the UK, providing an opportunity for engineering sector leaders and academics of today to meet those who aspire to follow in their footsteps as the engineering professionals of tomorrow.

Please note that only applications from current third- and fourth-year students (staying in education) will be accepted. These roles will not only shine on your CV but show off your ability to work in a diverse group of engineers towards a common goal. In addition, the event, and liaising with employers, gives you direct contacts within the engineering sector, expanding your network and exposure to potential career paths.

The three available fourth year roles (including the chair position) will be paid (for tasks such as contacting companies and venues).

The third-year roles will directly involve volunteering tasks and charity raffle organisation. Shadowing of the fourth-year roles is encouraged, with the opportunity to lead the 2027 event and become well versed with the prospective companies.

All roles will begin in April/May 2026, until the completion of the event (unless you are staying on for another year). The majority of the workload and contacting can be done flexibly over the summer to fit in around your schedule and work commitments. Assistance will be provided by the Faculty of Engineering throughout the duration of the process, with regular meetings becoming more frequent closer to the event.

If you are interested in applying for the role or have any questions, please email [email protected] with a copy of your CV.

Please see our photos on our LinkedIn (Gala Strathclyde) and our website: https://www.strath.ac.uk/engineering/getinvolved/gala/ from last year's gala to get a better idea of the event!
