Want to tackle the bigger problems?

We’ve teamed up with the Department of Geography to launch our Urban Engineering & Development course, which aims to produce engineers with a deeper understanding of the increasingly complex challenges that exist in our ever-changing world. We’re going beyond buildings and infrastructure, and concentrating on issues on a global-scale.
