Push yourself further

We have all the technology and facilities you need, including industry-standard modelling, simulation and controller design tools, robotics and flexible manufacturing systems laboratory, flight simulator, evolutionary computing laboratory, and clean facilities for the assembly of satellite instrumentation.

Our researchers have developed a new class of electronic filters. Energy transfer filters introduce a completely new approach to filter design. They have important applications in acoustics, communications, and vibration suppression.

Make your mark

A masters from Sheffield is the mark of someone with the skills to apply their knowledge in industry, anywhere in the world. Our graduates go on to major organisations including Jaguar, Pilkington, Rolls-Royce, ExxonMobil, Corus, Texas Instruments, British Airways, Perkins and Analyticon.

Industry links

We work closely with international industrial partners such as Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems. Rolls-Royce has a research and development centre here, putting our expertise to work on the challenges faced by industry today. Our masters students often work side by side with researchers at these facilities.

World-class teaching staff

Our reputation for excellence attracts world-class staff and students, people who are constantly looking to take their passion for engineering to the next level.
