Our departments
We've been delivering world-class teaching and research for over 135 years.
A unique feature is our strong links to industry and public bodies, which is integral to our research, teaching and knowledge exchange activity.
In 2022, we became the only engineering department in the UK to hold a Gold Athena Swan Award. This award marks our commitment to being an inclusive and supportive place to work and study, and recognises our efforts to improve and embed gender equality in all aspects of department activity.
