Women in Science

As a School we are working hard to promote and encourage women in science, as part of this we are celebrating our own female staff, students and researchers through our Female Engineers Page -- you might find it interesting to read the profiles of some of our Women in Engineering.

Athena SWAN
Award

The School of Engineering is delighted to announce that it has been successful in its application for the Athena SWAN Silver charter mark. This marks the 6th year that the School has been an Athena SWAN award recipient, having held Bronze since 2013. Silver is only awarded where there is robust and sustained evidence of robust and sustained evidence of cultural change in a department.
