DESCRIPTION:
The Department of Engineering Science is one of the largest unified engineering departments in the UK and one of the largest departments in the University. Its teaching and research cover the whole range of engineering disciplines for more than 600 undergraduates (over 20% of them women) and around 200 research students. There are some 60 established members of the academic staff and many others engaged in teaching, research and support. The Department is one of the eight departments which make up the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division within the University.
The Department's rating in the national Research Assessment Exercise is 5*A (awarded again in December 2001) and in the Teaching Quality Assessment 23/24. Its undergraduate courses are accredited at MEng level by all the major Institutions, and it has close links in both teaching and research with many of the world's leading companies. Of the 35 spin-off companies which contributed to Oxford's nomination as the UK's most innovative University, nine originated in this Department.
