  • Marine Technology   

Our Head of School, Daniel Coca, tells us why engineering at Newcastle University is such a unique experience.

Our Vision

We are shaping the future through cutting-edge teaching, research and partnerships. We lead in electrification, sustainable infrastructure and water, and digital and AI-enabled engineering. 

Our aim is to lead in tackling today's major challenges, building a better world for all through:  

  • ground-breaking research  
  • innovative, future-focused teaching 
  • sustainable and socially responsible practices  
  • cross-disciplinary integration that translates knowledge into real-world impact 

Tackling global challenges

Our research focuses on solutions to address the major challenges facing today’s world.   

We have a long-standing, global reputation in water research, which has been recognised by our Queen’s Anniversary Prize.    

We are leading the advancement in electrification. This means moving away from fossil fuels and towards electricity as the primary energy source. We are doing this through strategic partnerships, innovative research, and skills development.   

In biomedical engineering, we are developing new technologies to diagnose, treat and manage medical conditions.
