Why °ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ?

°ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ is one of the largest engineering colleges, with two tutorial fellows who between them cover most of the core topics: Dr René Bañares-Alcántara teaches thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, Dr Barbara Rossi structural engineering and solid mechanics. Electrical and information engineering is taught by Dr Zsolt Laczik.

We may accept deferred entry applications, although this is infrequent. 

What we look for

Our students come from all sorts of backgrounds: from both state and independent school sectors in the UK, from Europe, and beyond. Many have followed the British A-level system but about a third have other qualifications. The things they have in common are excellent mathematical ability, and genuine enthusiasm for engineering and the contribution it can make to our world. Their Finals results are consistently among the best in the University - a performance level that is achieved in an environment of friendly cooperation rather than fierce competition. 

Tutors' research interests

René Bañares-Alcántara researches the application of computer science techniques to engineering, focusing on the use of artificial intelligence techniques in chemical engineering design, synthesis and diagnosis. 

Barbara Rossi's research focuses on the behaviour of steel and stainless steel structures under different kinds of loads or environments for applications such as offshore structures, bridges, steel structures obtained via additive manufacturing. 

Martin Williams researches the dynamics of structures, with the aim to understand the causes of problematic or damaging vibrations, and to design, test and validate methods of reducing them. 

David Limebeer works on a range of applied and theoretical problems in engineering dynamics including robust theory, vehicle dynamics, process control, tokamak fusion reactors and aeroelasticity.
