UNRIVALLED FACILITIES

Where better for such a multi-disciplinary degree than multi-disciplinary facilities?

Packed with cutting-edge laboratories, collaborative spaces, and new technology - let Professor Peter Green and our students show you around.

"Our tutors always remind us of the importance of sustainable engineering, and what that might look like going forward."
“We do course modules in everything. From structures, fluids, dynamics, thermodynamics, materials, and lots of software-based things too - like CAD modelling.”
“The practical aspect of the course is very hands-on, which can be the most enjoyable part!"
