Our international reputation attracts students from around the world to study and research on innovative programmes that provide access to renowned academics, unique and cutting-edge facilities, and a community that is exciting, ambitious, and dynamic. The Faculty's academic staff are highly qualified and many are nationally and internationally acknowledged for their contribution to engineering, science and technology.
Our thriving research community is highly valued by our many industrial collaborators. National and global recognition of our achievements includes those with significant Fellowships, honours and awards from various sources including the European Research Council (ERC), the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Science and Technologies Facilities Council (STFC), The Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering.
The Faculty is home to several advanced research facilities. Our Zepler Institute Cleanrooms have the UK’s best photonics fabrication and nanoelectronics capabilities. We are also home to the UK’s National X-ray Crystallography Service and the R.J. Mitchell Wind Tunnel, which is used extensively by industries such as motorsport, automotive, aerospace, marine, maritime and performance sport. Our High Voltage Laboratory is a world-class centre for research into dielectric materials, insulation systems and high voltage phenomena.
