Cardiff School of Engineering

Cardiff School of Engineering is part of Cardiff University’s College of Physical Sciences.

Cardiff School of Engineering, Queen's Buildings

The School is located in Queen's Buildings on The Parade, which was built in 1921 to 1926 to a design by J. B. Fletcher.[1]

Cardiff School of Engineering has approximately 1,600 undergraduate and postgraduate students and employs around 300 academic, research, technical and administrative staff. The School offers taught undergraduate and postgraduate degrees (BEng, MEng, and MSc) and postgraduate research degrees (PhD) in a range of engineering subjects, as well as being involved in a number of community, commercial and industrial partnerships.

The school hosts academic conferences[2] and is involved in large scale research and engineering projects,[3] particularly in the field of renewable energy such as wind turbines[4][5] power grid efficiency[6][7] and tidal power generation.[8] Other topics under research include traditional engineering studies such as metal fatigue[9] and waste disposal engineering[10] as well as new fields of study such as carbon management in energy production.[11]
