School of Engineering
Welcome from the Head of School, Professor Ndy Ekere, BEng, MSc, PhD, CEng, FIEE.
Engineering has been at the heart of this institution since its foundation in 1890. In 1910, our predecessor the Woolwich Polytechnic offered its first degrees in engineering, and the school has grown in size and reputation ever since.
The relocation of the school in 1997 to the prestigious Medway campus, and the significant investment in new facilities there, have enabled us to successfully meet the ever-changing requirements of engineering, with programmes that reflect the needs of industry - locally, nationally and internationally.
A key strength is that the fields of computer and communications engineering, civil engineering, electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, product design and engineering management are all accessible within one school.
At both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, our graduates have not only the technical skills associated with their chosen field, but also skills based on advanced professional practice, such as problem solving, communications, research techniques, management and IT proficiency. Much of the project work undertaken by our students is derived directly or indirectly from industry.
The School of Engineering is dedicated to the nurture of academic excellence, while aiming to provide the best student experience with realistic learning outcomes, under the principles of wider participation and inclusiveness.
