Student stories
Anel’s story
UWE Bristol has been, and is currently, involved in a wide variety of Engineering-related research projects. These are largely led by the University’s Engineering Modelling and Simulation Group, which uses advanced modelling techniques to carry out high-quality research.
Current research projects include design analysis of a twin-entry IC engine turbocharger, the enabling of autonomous flight capabilities and an investigation into shock waves and aerospace vehicles.
Each could have a big impact in their respective fields, from making travel safer to improving high-speed technology.
These cutting-edge projects show just how far Engineering has come since the days of Brunel, while still embodying the same pioneering spirit.
Your pathway to Engineering
UWE Bristol’s International College, the University’s on-campus college for international students, offers a the perfect preparation course: the International Year One in Engineering.
This grants international students a fantastic opportunity to study Engineering in the UK, at a university that’s internationally recognised for its work in the field.
The International Year One, or IYO, is an intensive course that combines preparation for university study with the 1st year of a bachelor’s degree. This makes the IYO a really time-efficient and cost-effective option for quickly reaching the 2nd year of a degree.
You might also consider other pathways to a fantastic Engineering degree at UWE Bristol, including taking a Foundation Certificate or a Pre-Master’s at the International College.
It also grants you access to the superb Engineering degrees available at UWE, including Aerospace Engineering, Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies, Automotive Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electronic Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.
