I was impressed with the range of analytical equipment we used during first year and was made even happier when we were able to use the equipment for our coursework.— Jack Devile, Materials Science and Engineering with Industrial Experience BEng (2020)
The School of Engineering and Materials Science attracts some of the brightest minds from across the country, and the world. The most recent national assessment of the quality of university research (REF 2014) placed us seventh for our general engineering research (Times Higher Education).
Our academic staff have extensive contacts with major industrial companies in engineering and materials science, and there is constant interaction between industry, research and our teaching.
Our students benefit from personal contact with approachable teaching staff in small-group settings, where discussion and feedback is actively encouraged.
