We provide a well-equipped, well-resourced research environment that encourages collaboration across disciplines, departments and organisations.

Research is focused on four departments to reflect today's key challenges:

• Civil and Environmental Engineering
• Electrical Engineering and Electronics
• Materials, Design and Manufacturing Engineering
• Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

These provide platforms for the School's specialists in fields such as aerospace engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, materials engineering,  signal processing, design and manufacturing, robotics and clean and renewable energy.

Collaborations

You will find many innovative collaborations, such as our work on Biomechanics, with the and our .

Our programmes frequently involve external partners, both academic and industrial, regionally, nationally and internationally.

The Virtual Engineering Centre (VEC) is the leading technology innovation centre for engineering development using Virtual Engineering technologies and expertise. The VEC is a partnership between, the School of Engineering at the University of Liverpool, the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), BAE Systems, North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA) and Morson Projects.

N-STAR (Nuclear Science and Technology Applied Research) forms a hub of advanced interdisciplinary nuclear science and technology research.

Looking ahead

As part of an elite Russell Group of universities, we have significant funds to invest in research and are constantly searching for new opportunities.

We are keen to speak to potential partners and to expand our community of postgraduate and PhD students in line with our expanding research programme.
