Our departments
We've been delivering world-class teaching and research for over 135 years.
A unique feature is our strong links to industry and public bodies, which is integral to our research, teaching and knowledge exchange activity.
In 2022, we became the only engineering department in the UK to hold a Gold Athena Swan Award. This award marks our commitment to being an inclusive and supportive place to work and study, and recognises our efforts to improve and embed gender equality in all aspects of department activity.

Ground-breaking research reveals true cost of compounding disasters in UN report
Groundbreaking research from reveals many of the most damaging disasters are multi-hazard and not single events has been featured in a UN report. The study, led by CEE Department researchers, offers a transformative reclassification of disasters. It reveals that many of the most damaging events are not isolated incidents but the consequence of several incidents - where, for example, floods trigger landslides, cyclones drive flooding, or droughts accelerate desertification.
