Welcome to the School of Engineering and Materials Science

The School of Engineering and Materials Science was formed from Queen Mary's Department of Engineering and Department of Materials and provides outstanding degree programmes coupled with internationally leading research which is reflected in all our undergraduate programmes. Our taught postgraduate programmes are similarly first class and provide students with a fantastic opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research in: Bioengineering, Intelligent Transport, Sustainable Engineering and Engineering and Materials Education. The skills developed by our students and our extensive industrial connections provide graduates with excellent employability in stimulating and well-paid careers.
