Systems Engineering at Loughborough

Systems Engineering is a transdisciplinary approach that integrates all disciplines and specialty groups into a team effort, developing an innovation from concept to fully operational system.

Systems Engineering integrates business and technical needs to develop high-quality products that meets a range of requirements.

Systems Engineers use both systemic thinking (viewing the entire system) and systematic approaches (methodically analysing system components) to manage complexity effectively.

At Loughborough University, we collaborate with around 40 employers, partnering with our Systems Engineering team to conduct world-class research and offer valuable industry insights for training future Systems Engineering leaders.
