The School of Engineering has a strong culture of research and enterprise. We are the top modern university in London for world-leading and internationally excellent research and Grade Point Average in General Engineering.REF awarded 80% of our research into General Engineering the two highest quality ratings (4 or 3) for 'impact' (research and significance). This success is underpinned by a strong record of external income generation with the total current contract value of research and enterprise awards exceeding £4m.Income is generated from a wide range of sources including the research councils, European Union, industry, Government, charities, consultancy and Knowledge Transfer Partnerships where the School is one of the leaders nationally. Our research is to a very large degree interdisciplinary and collaborative with strong national and international links.The Cognitive Systems Research Centre (CSRC) specialises in the field of engineering Cognition, where the physical world is integrated, converged and interacts with cyber-physical/computational systems. Technologies related to Cognitive Systems are transforming the way people interact with engineered systems. The Centre works at the cutting edge of technologies and carries out fundamental and applied research in emerging and future areas of smart applications where quality of life can be improved (e.g. Smart Cities, Agriculture and Health) and sustainability and productivity can be enhanced (e.g. Manufacturing, Sustainable development, Smart Grid).Full-time4 yearsJanuary April September
