1. University of Cambridge
World ranking: 5
Ranking first in the UK and fifth in the world – behind MIT, Stanford, Caltech and Princeton – the University of Cambridge also claimed top spot for the best place to study the arts. Professor David Cardwell said that practical outcomes – as well as academic rankings – were important to the department of engineering. And the university delivers on both.
2. Imperial College London
World ranking: 6
Named as the joint-second best university in the world, according the QS World University Rankings, Imperial College London also ranks in second place in the UK for engineering and technology – and sixth in the world, sitting just one place behind the leader. Imperial's position in the rankings is hardly surprising since the university is a world-renowned center for medicine, the natural sciences and engineering.
3. University of Oxford
World ranking: 7
Maintaining its seventh place world ranking for the second year in a row, the University of Oxford ranks third in the UK for engineering and technology, according to the THE. The department of engineering science was founded in 1908 and now produces around 160 new graduate engineers a year. Furthermore, between 60 and 70 students continue on to take higher degrees at the university.
4. University of Manchester
World ranking: 37
The faculty of engineering and physical sciences comprises nine schools at the University of Manchester, including the school of chemical engineering and analytical science, the school of physics and astronomy, and the school of computer science. Despite sitting 30 places behind the next entrant, the University of Manchester still holds a high position in the world rankings.
5. University College London (UCL)
World ranking: 53
Ranked just two places above the University of Edinburgh, University College London also ranks highly in terms of the arts and humanities, coming in in third place in the UK. The faculty of engineering sciences, one of ten faculties at the university, comprises eleven departments covering a wide range of topics
6. University of Edinburgh
World ranking: 55
Engineering has, reportedly, been taught since 1673 at the University of Edinburgh, but there are now over 1,300 students studying both undergraduate and postgraduate courses at the School of Engineering. The university has maintained its 55th position in the world rankings, coming out sixth in the UK.
7. University of Nottingham
World ranking: 72
Climbing two places from 74th in the world last year, the University of Nottingham ranks seventh in the UK, according to the Times Higher Education. According to Professor Andy Long, dean of engineering, this position can be attributed to the passion that the university's engineers show for their subject. "They are at the forefront of new research... and producing novel and sustainable technologies," he said.
8. University of Leeds
World ranking: 76
The faculty of engineering at the University of Leeds has over 3,000 students from 100 countries and ranks seventh in the UK for research. The university offers a variety of degree courses, from Aviation technology to nanotechnology and product design, and ranks just ahead of the University of Southampton; climbing from 87th place last year.
9. University of Southampton
World ranking: 77
According to the National Student Survey 2014, the University of Southampton has some very satisfied students. 95 per cent of students studying civil engineering are satisfied, 96 per cent of those studying mechanical engineering are satisfied and 93 per cent of those studying ship science are satisfied. It's perhaps unsurprising, considering the university's position in the world and UK rankings.
10. University of Bristol
World ranking: 81
From contributing to the design of the wing on the Spitfire, to the technology behind the first mobile phone, the faculty of engineering at the University of Bristol "addresses global challenges". It is also actively tackling the lack of women in STEM subjects and is focused on improving career progression for female academics.
In response to our student’s diverse needs, Grand Canyon University is now offering selected degree programs in an evening format. These programs are designed to meet the needs of today`s working adults as they balance their work and personal lives with the desire to earn a degree. With programs that meet just one evening per week, students can conveniently integrate advancing their education with maintaining their career.
