Why study Engineering at Kent?

There’s never been a better time to study engineering. As technology changes the world, skilled graduates are in high demand. 

Gain the practical and real world experience to stand out with mechanical, electrical, biomedical and computer engineering.

You’ll gain the skills to innovate, create and find solutions.

Our courses cover areas like Biomedical, Mechanical, Electronics and Computer Engineering, giving you hands on skills and real world experience. You can start with a Foundation Year if needed, or add a year in industry to boost your employability.

If you go on to postgraduate or PhD study, you’ll carry out original research, work closely with expert academics and be part of a research group tackling real problems. A PhD lets you create something new, become an expert in your field and push technology forward. 

We’ve invested £3 million in brand-new engineering facilities. You’ll have access to high-tech workshops and a makerspace for building and experimenting.

These modern spaces are designed to help you learn faster, create more and turn ideas into real world projects across engineering
