Active Learning Labs

We are home to Europe's premier engineering Active Learning Laboratories. They include two floors of flexible laboratory and design teaching space, used exclusively by our undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students. They also contain our manufacturing robots and rapid prototyping teaching facilities. It's an excellent place for engineering students to develope their practical and design skills, as well as to collaborate and network.

They provide you with everything you need to test, refine and make your ideas a reality. Large open spaces for group work, brainstorming and presenting. Workshops for woodworking, heat pressing, laser cutting, 3D printing, and pretty much anything else you can think of. In addition to the technological resources, the Active Learning Lab uses a student-centred approach to education, encouraging active participation and teamwork. The labs are designed to facilitate project-based learning, where students work in groups on projects that mirror the complexities and dynamics of professional engineering practice. Our dedicated technicians are always on hand to offer support and share their valuable know-how.
