About the Faculty

It is difficult to overstate the importance of engineering in our rapidly evolving world. Engineering solutions are all around us - portable devices, clean water and healthcare products that enable us to live longer and, arguably, better lives. If we're to continue to innovate then we need the right people. People who can challenge, people who can create and most of all, people who can apply new knowledge in new products and new processes. These are just some of the things you'll learn in one of our many engineering courses.

The great strength of engineering at Nottingham emanates from two distinctive features:

1. Research excellence underpins and animates all our teaching
2. An exceptionally close involvement with industry ensures our teaching and research has relevance and meaning

This means that our students are taught by academics who are leaders in their field and brings a unique advantage to our undergraduate degrees which are respected and valued by industry and commerce worldwide.

The recent results of the national Research Assessment Exercise 2008 confirms our status as a world-class institution carrying out research of international quality, and places us in the UK’s top five universities for engineering.

Our web pages try to give you a snapshot of some of the things going on within our Engineering operations - we hope that you find the inspiration to get in touch. The next move is up to you.
