About us
Built on a strong research environment, the School offers a wide range of taught degree programmes at both BEng and MEng levels. Choose from aerospace, architectural, civil, mechanical or product design engineering. You can add pilot studies to your aerospace engineering degree, or study structural engineering alongside your civil engineering degree. We also have a wide range of electrical and electronic engineering degrees which you can choose to combine with computer science, as well as our mechatronics and robotic systems courses. The School also offers MSc programmes in these fields as well as Biomedical and Nuclear Engineering and Manufacturing.
As part of a research-led Russell Group university, the School attracts substantial research funding and has active collaborative contacts with several major industries and universities in the UK and abroad. We invest heavily in our staff, with mentoring, training and resources and continuously aim to help them progress their careers.
