Study with us

Globally renowned. Locally inspired.

From renewable energy to flight simulation and space mission planning, our engineers are making a difference all around the world. We’re also having an impact closer to home. Whether we're working with local charities to re-imagine plastic waste, learning to fly at our local Flying School, or building solar food storage solutions at Ness Botanic Gardens. 

Mechanical engineers play a crucial role at every stage of design and manufacturing, from wind turbines to precision medical instruments. Our courses prepare you for careers in areas such as sustainable energy, robotics, and green transportation. In aerospace engineering, you’ll explore topics from aerodynamics and flight dynamics to space mission design and flight testing, opening pathways to careers in aircraft design and testing, green aviation, and space exploration.

We are a founding member and leader of the Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate approach to teaching, now recognised as the gold standard among leading engineering universities worldwide. We believe the best learning comes from hands-on experience and tackling real-world problems, which is why we have invested in state-of-the-art facilities, including our renowned full-motion flight simulators. Our award-winning Capstone projects enable students to work directly with industry partners, gaining valuable experience and professional connections.

I chose to study here after seeing the facilities first hand, from the flight simulators to the workshops and the wind tunnels, it was amazing. Most importantly, I got to see the passion and enthusiasm of the supportive lecturers.
