About Us
The Faculty is currently ranked 7th in the UK for the quality of its research according to the most recent Research Assessment Exercise, with 75% of the Faculty's research rated as internationally excellent or world leading. Our research feeds directly into our teaching ensuring that our courses are at the forefront of thinking in their respective fields.
Our teaching and research is delivered through our five schools:
- School of Civil Engineering
- School of Computing
- School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering
- School of Mechanical Engineering
- School of Process, Environmental and Materials Engineering
The range and scope of our research is extensive and covers all of the major engineering disciplines, including cross cutting themes such as energy, materials, medical engineering and artificial intelligence, with theoretical, experimental and modelling work underpinning all areas.
This provides an ideal platform for multidisciplinary research, enabling us to undertake high-impact research in areas recognised as providing critical global challenges. Much of our research is linked to industry, with major collaborators throughout the UK and Europe. We have also aligned our Faculty with industry sectors such as digital technologies, energy, high value chemicals and medical technologies.
The Faculty of Engineering has a strong commitment to promoting women in engineering and this is reflected in the number of female academics and students working within the Faculty. To find out more visit our Women in Engineering webpages.
