Discover Engineering
Congratulations on your offer
We’re pleased to offer you a place on one of our Engineering courses. Engineering at Edge Hill is your chance to explore a whole host of areas and become a specialist in a number of areas, like electrical and electronic engineering, robotics, mechanical engineering or computer engineering. Our teaching and student learning are informed by our cutting-edge, internationally recognised research and industry links, so you can be sure that you’re learning about the most recent developments in the field.
The Tech Hub
The Department of Engineering benefits from the facilities provided by the state-of-the-art £13m Tech Hub. Our modern engineering teaching laboratories are equipped with a range of industry-standard, test and measurement equipment and leading analytical software.
There are dedicated specialist laboratories for materials engineering and electronics circuits, in addition to an abundance of computer facilities. Learning resources include oscilloscopes, signal generators, digital multimeters, thermodynamic temperature measurement, digital hydraulic bench equipment, a tensile tester machine, electronics training kits, single and 3-phase transformers, a 3-D printer, and robotic arm kits, plus MATLAB and SolidWorks software platforms.
Artificial intelligence and robots
Edge Hill University’s Dr Ardhendu Behera, is leading a project to build pioneering robots to help monitor and care for older people, patients and autistic children.
A team of students have worked together to teach Robbie, a toddler-sized robot, to recognise 90 common objects as well as human actions and emotions.
Engineer your future
In 1991, when the World Wide Web was still in its infancy and digital mobile phones first began to appear on the streets, I started research on the third generation of mobile satellite and cellular networks – better known as 3G. I travelled all around Europe working on 3G, 4G and 5G – seeing the impact my own research and work, and that of thousands of other highly-skilled engineers, was having on a global scale. Currently, I’m working on researching the next generation – the 6G network.
That’s one of the things I love about electrical engineering, innovation never stops and you really can grow with the subject, and that’s what makes it so exciting.

Prepare for your studies
Before starting your studies, you could:
- Visit the Institution of Engineering and Technology: theiet.org/career/routes-to-engineering/student-hub
- Check out the Royal Academy of Engineering: raeng.org.uk/education-and-skills
- Get UK-based technology insights: bbc.co.uk/technology
Supporting you
When you become a student here, you’ll be allocated a Personal Tutor. They will be your main source of support in your academic department. They’ll be with you as you progress throughout your degree, supporting you in three areas: professional/career-related support, pastoral support and signposting you to information you need. But they aren’t just there when you need support. They are also there to celebrate your successes, help with planning your progress and much more.
Meet our students
Come and join us in a dynamic and supportive environment of high quality scholars and students. Hear from our students about what they have got up to on their degree, what facilities are available and what being an Edge Hill student is really like.
