Exciting changes in the School of Engineering
The School of Engineering has reorganised into five departments: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Management, Computer Science, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. This change will not impact on the delivery of your programme of study. However, during this transition, you may still see references to the former Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering. We appreciate your patience as we update our systems to reflect the new structure.
