Engineering allows fordiscovery and innovation in science and medicine to be developed into practicalapplications that affect all of us and it has created the means to unlock theworld’s natural resources,from which we all benefit.

Engineering is an engine of wealth creation – allowing business andenterprise to turn researchand the innovative ideas that spring from it into jobs and profitability.

It is not surprising that theengineering sector makes up nearly a fifth of the UKeconomy, employing over 4.5 million people playing a vital role in rebalancing the economy – and manymillions more worldwide.

At its heart, engineering is truly international in its scope, its impact and in the people whoundertake it – engineeringdevelopments shared acrossthe interconnected andintertwined world we live in are at the forefront of saving lives and makingpeople’s lives better,

contributing enormously to making our modernworld what it is.Fundamentally, engineeringis about the high-levelstrategic thinking thatunderpins innovation in technology – but yetengineers have a realsensitivity to how everyproject they are involvedwith impacts on people and our environment.

I am delighted that you are considering studyingengineering to becomeinvolved in one of the most dynamic, exciting,international and indeedpeople-focused professionstoday. A degree inengineering from CityUniversity London will equip you for that role and to be a driver of futurechange in this century andallow you to make yourmark on a rapidly changingworld. That builds on ourlong and distinguishedtradition, stretching back for nearly 120 years, oftraining the best engineersat City University London tochange the world – we areimmensely proud of the

way that our graduates have been at the forefront of industry and academia in the UK and worldwideover that time.

Engineers trained at City University London –whatever their first degreediscipline – inhabit the real world which throws up a breadth of engineeringchallenges and which arisefrom the combination of thedisciplines we often simplylabel as civil, electrical,aeronautical or mechanicalengineering. Building abroad understanding andseeking technical mastery of the field is essential forengineers to make their mark on the world. Mostespecially, a training inengineering is a path to be a leader in tomorrow’scomplex world – a leader intechnical expertise, a leaderin strategic thinking, aleader in innovation and aleader in communication.Our role at City UniversityLondon is to develop andinstill those skills in ourgraduates and fit them for that opportunity.

I challenge you to come onthe journey that will takeyou to become a leader in a field that will change the world in the twenty first century – throughequipping yourself with the breadth of skills you will need and that a City University Londondegree in engineering willgive you. I challenge you to make the most of theopportunities that this canoffer and to recognise thecrucial and transformativerole that being an engineercan make to your life.

I look forward to welcoming you as anengineering student of the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at City University London.

Talking about work placements

Tobias Backer DirksGraduated in 2011 with a 1st class (Hons) degree in MEng Aeronautical Engineering

Currently working at EADS Innovation Works in preparation for postgraduate studies at City University London

“Having attended another London university in the past I thought I knew what lay before me but was pleasantlysurprised to find out that City University London is notlike other universities. Little things like the staff beinginterested in getting to know you and your backgroundmake a huge difference to the learning experience. The staff, both academic and administrative, are alwayswilling to help with any issues you may be experiencing,academic or personal. The student body is extremelydiverse; this results in an exciting and vibrant atmospherewhere everyone has a chance to learn and discussdifferent cultures and customs helping students becomemore well rounded people, rather than just engineers.

Students are not only prepared for the real world, but actively introduced to it. City has helped me secure aninternship at EADS Innovation Works in preparation forthe PhD I will be undertaking at the University. I canwholeheartedly recommend City to anyone who wants toenjoy a truly fantastic learning experience, being securein the knowledge that they will be looked after andrewarded for their efforts in the future.”

“Working for National Grid for 14 months has truly been a phenomenal experience. I had the opportunity to be part of exciting departments, such as Gas Operations where I was responsible for launching newexcavating technology and managing a team of 5. I amnow working on a project called Maintenance DeliveryElectricity where I am responsible for solving a noise and vibration problem in a sub-station. I am also gainingan insight in the construction of London Power Tunnels –new infrastructure to meet the increase in demands forelectricity. I was able to reinforce many essential skills such as time and activity management, presentation skills, leadership and problem solving skills.

The opportunity to spend a year in industry is hugely beneficial as it allows you to gain an insight in a particular field of engineering and allows you to network and make contacts for the future.”

“City University London was a great placeto study in a great location in centralLondon. Studying at City was bothchallenging and rewarding, the University’s leading research ensured that the lecture material was at the cutting edge of technology. Lectures werecombined with tutorials and practicallaboratory sessions to give a thoroughunderstanding of the subject.

The staff were always on hand to helpshould you need it. All the taughtdisciplines culminated in a design projecteach year. There are a range to choosefrom and the design and build of a race car for Formula Student event was myhighlight. These design projects are run asclose as possible to real world engineeringbusinesses, incorporating all aspects from finance and project management to design and manufacture. Thisexperience was vital for me to secureemployment after graduation.

City helped me find and supported methrough a fantastic placement year atRolls-Royce Plc between my second andthird years.

My education at City set me up perfectly for my career in engineering and I still use my old lecture notes from time to time!”

Ray Robinson Graduated in 2009 with a 1st class (Hons)degree in BEng Mechanical Engineering

Currently working as Engineering Manager(Operations) for a large company in thepower generation industry

“I came to City University London to studyMechanical Engineering. I had completedan engineering apprenticeship in the pastand worked for a number of years as a technician in the power generationindustry. City University London has helped me to advance in my chosen career,and made returning to study a positiveexperience. From my first visit I was madeto feel welcome as a member of City. I haveparticularly enjoyed the team workingaspect of studying Engineering Design. A team of undergraduate engineerscollaborate with other universitiesinternationally, and design and developworking prototypes for an existingengineering company. Working togetherwith a common aim as an internationalindustrial design team, helps to developmany important skills that potentialemployers will value highly.

I would thoroughly recommend studyingengineering at City. A lot of hard work is involved, but teamwork and guidancefrom the academic staff will help to ensure your success.”

Graduate Careers


Sara González LuqueGraduated in 2011 with a 1st class (Hons)degree in BEng Air Transport Engineering

Currently working at ExecuJet Aviation Group

“When I enrolled at City I expected that having a degree in Air TransportEngineering from the UK would change my professional life for the better in manyways. What I did not expect was how mypersonal life changed for the better too!City University London provided me notonly with all the necessary tools andengineering knowledge to work inengineering but also with great humanvalues. The lecturers at City were veryhelpful, understanding and comprehensive.They were the reasons for my success.

Studying at City allowed me to meet peoplefrom all over the world and experiencedifferent cultures, different methods anddifferent ways of thinking which willcertainly be very useful in my near future.

I am currently working at ExecuJet AviationGroup, a leading global business aviationorganisation headquartered in Zurich. I work at their London offices within theMaintenance and Engineering department.My main tasks are the elaboration ofMaintenance Programmes and MELs forour London managed fleet.

Coming to City has been with no doubt oneof the best decisions I have ever made!”

Jay Avraj BhattiGraduated in 2008 with a 1st class (Hons)degree in MEng Aeronautical Engineering

Currently back as a research student for a PhD investigating City’s own flow controltechnologies being applied to wind turbineblades, after working as a graduateengineer for an aircraft structuralengineering consultancy, Cabot Design Ltd

“As an international student, the prospect of choosing a suitable UKuniversity in which to invest for a career in engineering was daunting. My criteriafocussed mainly around the practical‘hands-on’ skills and the confidence I would gain through experience.

The experience in completing the course at City has more than exceeded myexpectations. The course structure was broad and thorough, such that a primaryfocus is given on ensuring a soundunderstanding of the basics. In the latterstages, the course became specialisedenough to provide me with a leading edge perspective on the fields I chose to specialise in.

The University is home to the awesomeHandley Page Aero Laboratory, in whichstudents are trained to work proficientlywith experimental and computationalmethods for analysis. A key advantage hereis that almost all the academic staff werefull-time engineers and still participate inindustry through research. This means thatthey were, and still are, always updatingcourse material to keep the students up todate with the latest issues, methods andstandards. The staff go out of their way toprovide unmatched support and mentoring,especially during the final year thesis. Infact, my supervisor supported me to thepoint where we were able to publish aconference paper based on our findingsthrough the thesis, and participate in thelargest conference in the aeronautical field held in Alaska!

I was able to use my skills and rapidlyparticipate as a graduate for an aircraftstructural engineering consultancy,specialising in analyses for the wingstructure for a large European aircraftmanufacturer. However, in summer 2010, my supervisor offered a position in which I would be analysing City’s own patentedtechnology – aimed at augmenting theperformance of wind turbine blades. An offer that was too good to turn down!”
