We have been awarded the prestigious "National Certificate of Good Practice" for our innovative approach to student placements, developed through our exciting partnership with CERN.

IMechE, the governing body responsible for accrediting our Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons) and Mechanical Engineering with Renewables BEng (Hons) courses, commended the University for its forward-thinking and impactful practices. The award highlights the outstanding opportunities we provide to our students, particularly the chance to undertake placements at one of the world’s leading scientific research centres — CERN.

These placements offer our students the unique experience of working on groundbreaking projects in particle physics, developing and applying their mechanical engineering skills in a truly world-class environment. This hands-on experience not only strengthens their technical expertise but also enhances their problem-solving, teamwork, and innovation skills — qualities highly sought after by employers.

This national recognition is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our academic staff, who continuously strive to offer exceptional learning experiences. It reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality education that blends theoretical knowledge with practical, real-world application.
