manufacturing and sustainable energy help create industrial leaders. Our expertise in alternative energies benefits energy sector companies and universities wishing to upskil their staff in sustainable energies.

Our research and PhD projects encourage the development of problem-solving skills while engaging with current industrial and societal issues.

Where we can, we facilitate students working from their home country.

Transferable technology skills

Our computing and electronic engineering programmes are ideal for partnerships with universities in the Middle East; many of our students come from the region.

Students and industry are attracted to our strong practical focus, which empowers graduates with directly transferable skills and immediate employability.

Academics at our partner universities are trained and supported to deliver these worldclass programmes.
