Engineering moves quickly – AI, automation, big data and more are developing at a rapid pace. The industry is always changing. There are lifelong careers in solving big problems like building cities that last and fighting climate change.

Engineers design, test and build machines, structures and processes using maths and science. You’ll get a rewarding career in a discipline dedicated to problem solving.

The devices we use to communicate, the processes that manufacture our medicines - they come from engineers. You'll use maths and science to achieve incredible things and find solutions to the world’s most complicated challenges. It’s an exciting industry that makes a big difference.
