Course Overview

The College of Engineering and Physical Sciences focuses on research that is significant to the current and future needs of our society. This is your chance to contribute to this course and help improve communities. Our research is recognized internationally: over half our research funding comes from international sources. We also receive support from UK Government, research councils, and charities. Our research projects tackle strategic priorities such as energy, information and communication technologies (ICT), and healthcare technologies. All our staff is engaged in research and with an unusually large proportion of them operating research projects linked to industry.
