School of Engineering & the Built Environment

The School of Engineering & the Built Environment offers a range of engaging, challenging and industry-relevant courses that enable graduates to pursue rewarding careers within their chosen discipline.

We host the Institute for Sustainable Construction (ISC) and the Transport Research Institute (TRI); two internationally leading research institutes. Within the school our research into materials, geotechnics, sensing, automation and control is coordinated by the Engineering Research Group (ERG). 

We have a long history of innovative research and applied development activities in partnership with industry. We use the results of our research and consultancy activities to enhance the learning experience of our students, and where possible, we integrate applied research into our teaching programmes.
