Civil Engineers - achieves this aim by

he School of Engineering, Design & Technology places emphasis on both teaching and research, believing them to be mutually dependent. We have particular research strengths in Water Engineering; Acoustics; Structural Engineering; Geotechnics; Sustainability; and Computer Modelling and Design. We conduct this research jointly with many companies including Yorkshire Water, Thames Water, Bersche-rolt, Transport Research Laboratory, AngloFelt Industries, Lime Technology, Castle Cement, Ibstock Bricks and many others.

With reference to teaching and learning, the School aims to produce postgraduates who aspire to challenging careers in industry, commerce and the public sector or to developing their own enterprises. Postgraduates will be able to move directly into responsible roles in employment with a minimum of additional training. It achieves this aim by:

·           Providing a supportive, structured environment in which students are encouraged to develop independent learning skills;

·           Developing subject knowledge and understanding, developing discipline skills and developing personal transferable skills, to enable graduates to pursue programmes of advanced study, or to move directly into responsible employment.
