Research

Pushing the boundaries of engineering discovery is our core mission in research, while addressing global challenges via innovation and impact.

Our world-class research environment (ranked joint 1st in the UK in the last Research Excellence Framework, REF 2021, as part of a wider Engineering submission), is underpinned by sector-leading research income that supports our researchers and research facilities. 

We are proud to host national research centres, including:

• The enables UK University research through provision of high quality Semiconductor Epitaxy.
• The Centre for Research into Electrical Energy Storage & Applications (CREESA) is one of the UK’s leading research centres into energy storage.
• EPSRC MM Wave Measurement Facility which uses state of the art equipment to measure and improve the effectiveness of antennas and transmitters.
• Two Rolls Royce University Technology Centres; Rolls-Royce Control, Monitoring and Systems Engineering University Technology Centre; Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Advanced Electrical Machines and Drives.

Teaching

As a leading Electrical and Electronic Engineering school we provide a range of undergraduate degree courses, focusing on electrical engineering and electronics, robotics and mechatronics, as well as computer engineering. Our postgraduate education reflects our world-leading research and innovation, and also focuses on the modern global industry landscape, focusing on automation and control, communications, semiconductors, robotics, as well as applied artificial intelligence for engineering. We pride ourselves on delivering a combination of theory and practical learning, supported by our sector-leading teaching labs, while guided - and supported - by our Industry Advisory Board that shapes the employability agenda of our programmes.

Experience a range of Engineering disciplines

We take an interdisciplinary approach to learning and teaching, so that our students work with a range of disciplines as they would in industry. These opportunities for collaboration extend across wide-ranging subjects within the School but also across the whole of Engineering and Computer Science:

• Our Science and Engineering Foundation Year (SEFY) provides a grounding for students who need an extra year of study to progress onto our degrees, including a choice of subjects from across the Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Science
• Our General Engineering course is for students who want to study a wide range of engineering disciplines. You will be taught by experts from across all four of our schools in the Faculty of Engineering, giving you the skills and knowledge to shape your future career path
• The Diamond Building is the heart of our collaborative approach, providing teaching spaces and specialist laboratories for students from all our courses to work together on practical learning
