Faculty of Engineering
Shape the future with an engineering degree
The University of Strathclyde has one of the largest and best-equipped engineering faculties in the UK. It is the largest engineering department in Scotland, with five subjects ranked in the top 10 in the UK, including Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Bioengineering (The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023).
Renowned for strong links with industry
The Faculty of Engineering collaborates with overseas universities and industries. Thanks to links with overseas partners, it has a growing international community of students, researchers and staff.
Professional accreditation
All of the established undergraduate engineering courses, except Biomedical Engineering, are fully accredited by professional engineering institutions. This means you can become eligible for chartered engineer status after you graduate.
Leaders in research
Strathclyde has one of the largest research portfolios in the UK at £85 million – and growing. The faculty's engineering research has global impact and is responsible for some of the UK’s most significant practical research. To protect its position as a leading technology university, the University of Strathclyde is making huge investments in its facilities.
Exceptional facilities
You will have access to state-of-the-art equipment and workspaces. The University has recently completed a £40 million investment programme in Engineering facilities and support infrastructure, including the Advanced Forming Research Centre, the Power Networks Demonstration Centre and the Advanced Space Concepts Lab.
Industry experience
Students of the Faculty of Engineering can receive awards from industry and professional bodies to help with their studies. Many provide placement opportunities with hands-on industry experience. Organisations that take part include BP, Iberdrola, The Royal Academy of Engineering, The Lloyds Register Foundation and Atkins.

I chose Electronics and Electrical Engineering because it has this really cool combination of coding and computing and physics and electronics. You get to learn about physics and you get to practise it in your electronics degree where I deal with different circuits. It really opens up a lot of different jobs after university.
