Discover Engineering
Congratulations on your offer
Engineering at Edge Hill is your chance to explore a whole host of areas and become a specialist in a number of areas, like electronic engineering, robotics, intelligent automation or computer engineering. Our teaching and student learning is 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
A four-screen CAVE (Computer Augmented Virtual Environment) provides a super immersive 3D virtual environment, enabling users to immerse themselves in a virtual room and experience real-life scenarios in 4K resolution.
The Tech Hub is home to big data servers, programmable child-sized robots, transparent touchscreen monitors, and interactive teaching screens.
Explore the brand new £13 million Tech Hub building using our Virtual Open Day.
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.
