Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) Gold award
Our commitment to high quality teaching has been recognised with a TEF Gold rating. The University has received an overall rating of Gold, as well as securing a Gold award in the framework's two new student experience and student outcomes categories.
Electrical and electronic engineering
Undeniably, electrical systems and electronics are at the forefront of technological advances, including generation, distribution, storage and conversion of electrical power and transmission and processing of data.
Our courses
Electronic products engineering
Electronic Products Engineering is an exciting new course where you will discover and apply technological advances to design products and devices.
This hands-on course will help you develop the multidisciplinary knowledge that the fast-moving industrial, commercial and domestic sectors demand of their technical professionals.
Our courses
Automotive engineering
In the automotive pathway you'll design, test and develop vehicles from concept through to production, using the latest technology and industry-standard equipment, such as a 3D design studio, a mechanical engineering workshop and automotive testing facilities.
Our courses
Mechanical engineering
Mechanical engineers are involved in the design and manufacture of products and systems that affect us all, with expertise relevant to many organisations.
You'll learn general mechanical engineering, gain highly-sought-after simulation skills and an understanding of business and project management.
Our courses
Our facilities
Our industry-standard laboratories and equipment provide plenty of opportunities to put theory into practice, and gain valuable experience using the tools you'll need in the workplace – as well as some more unique equipment too. We encourage our students to learn through creating. You'll have the freedom to invent, create and express your ideas using the latest technologies.
Engineering facilities include a full-sized wind tunnel for testing students' designs, such as parachutes, water speed vehicles and motorbikes. A flight simulator enables students to virtually ‘fly' the aircraft they design. There are also 3D printers, a rocket lab, a satellite ground station, specialist concrete, hydraulics, materials, soils, and structures labs.
Students can join the University's motorsport team and participate in the annual Formula E Student competition. This is Europe's highest prole educational motorsport competition and is run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
Future Skills
Knowledge to give you the edge
Embedded within every course curriculum and throughout the whole Kingston experience, Future Skills will play a role in shaping you to become a future-proof graduate, providing you with the skills most valued by employers such as problem-solving, digital competency, and adaptability.
As you progress through your degree, you'll learn to navigate, explore and apply these graduate skills, learning to demonstrate and articulate to employers how future skills give you the edge.
At Kingston University, we're not just keeping up with change, we're creating it.
