Teaching:

• Lectures are delivered by members of the School of Engineering who have the relevant globally recognised specialism within the respective field.
• Guest speakers bring additional perspectives from industry or research and keep you updated with the latest industry standards in your discipline.
The theory of each topic is accompanied by practical elements covering paper-based, computer-based and hands-on building type challenges.
• For specialist modules, our classes are usually limited to 20 students in lab sessions and 40 in lectures.
This helps to create familiarity between students and staff and ensure a great learning experience. The modules that run across several courses can have larger classes sizes, which are typically broken down into smaller groups.
