UWE Bristol Department of Engineering Design and Mathematics
Addressing the complex challenges of the 21st century requires graduates who can use a range of engineering technologies, mathematical skills and design methods and work together to make a difference in society. Our students are taught to define, develop and deliver solutions that meet user requirements, offer value for money and are environmentally effective. Mathematics is an integral part of engineering, but also provides solutions in computing, finance, business and health.
Our distinctive programmes will help UWE Bristol meet its strategic aims of providing an environment that promotes excellence and prepares graduates ready for the world of work.
Our staff work in integrated teams, covering a range of subject disciplines, to deliver programmes of research and study that aim to challenge, enthuse and stimulate.
A key element of our approach is based on partnership and collaboration. Partnership is at the heart of all our activities, including research, teaching, knowledge exchange, consultancy and professional development.
Our unique partnerships and relationships put us in a strong position as a University, working closely with regional, national and international partners to develop the cross-disciplinary solutions needed for the modern age.
