Partnerships in the School of Engineering

It is the strength of our partnerships and relationships that allows us to achieve what we do. Our flexibility of approach makes us the first choice for many local organisations and businesses.

Partnerships with some of the top organisations and businesses in the industry mean our courses stay relevant to the current market as well as the latest technologies and influences. Some firms contribute directly to course content, giving experience of real-world scenarios and day-to-day challenges.

These links create access to excellent placement opportunities and lectures and workshops with visiting professionals also provide our students with unique insights from the front line of industry.
