Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering

Through our research-led teaching and strong industry links with companies around the world, we take into consideration the needs of industry to ensure all of our graduates have the knowledge, skills and experience to have an effective and successful career in industry and further study.

We develop and nurture the world’s top engineering talent. Every single one of our programmes is research-led to ensure our students have the most up-to-date theoretical and practical knowledge required to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex world. We work closely with industry and integrate their requirements, as well as our own cutting-edge research, into our informed modules. This supports the technical and commercial needs of society and allows our graduates to extend the boundaries of current knowledge.

Due to their extensive knowledge and skills, graduates of our programmes are highly sought after by industry and commerce worldwide. Our graduates have gone on to undertake a variety of roles at companies including Accenture, Airbus, BAE Systems, Caterpillar, Cisco, EDF Energy, E.ON, Ford, Hewlett Packard, Huawei, IBM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mitsubishi, Rolls-Royce, Siemens AG, and Tata Steel, to name but a few.

Loughborough University recently invested over £70 million into developing the west side of campus, where the school is based. In particular we have improved our high-tech teaching and laboratory facilities which ensures you have access to specialist equipment which will benefit your individual and group project work, as it links to current research activities, allowing you to enter industry or further your academic study with the latest ideas and concepts.

The Wolfson School has 15,000m² of facilities which cater for various research areas including, additive manufacturing, automation, dynamics and control, electrical power generation, engineering design, engineering management, fluid mechanics, healthcare engineering, intelligent transport, internal combustion engines, manufacturing, materials, mechatronics, metrology, optical engineering, product design, radio communications, renewable energy and energy storage, robotics, sports technology, structural integrity, systems and thermodynamics.

At Loughborough University, we have over 150 student-led societies and sports clubs ranging from basketball and sailing to quidditch and video games for you to get involved with, outside of your studies.

There are also a range of engineering focused societies including Engineering Without Borders, Women in Engineering, Loughborough Space and Architecture.
