Engineering

The Department of Engineering Science at Oxford University is a unified department, covering all the important engineering disciplines. It has a top-level rating for teaching and an international reputation for research. A list of courses available to Visiting Students, along with further details of the Core Courses, is given below.

Core Courses are taught in tutorials in St Edmund Hall. Lectures are in the Department of Engineering Science. These courses are spread across the entire academic year. Introductory Core Courses are prerequisites for the Advanced Core Courses.

Further Courses (with a few exceptions, depending on tutor availability) are taught in lectures and classes in the Department of Engineering Science. These courses are only available to Visiting Students with the appropriate academic background (Core Courses are prerequisites). Most of the Further Courses are spread across the academic year.

Due to centralised scheduling of University lectures, please note that we can only consider Visiting Student applications in Engineering for the full academic year. Visiting Students can take a combination of Core Courses and this enables full integration with the Engineering course and with our own undergraduate Engineers. We recommend that Visiting Students applying for Engineering also choose a complementary subject for part of Trinity Term (for example, Management, Finance, Physics, or Mathematics) to balance their loading across the academic year.

We appreciate that, at first glance, mapping the Oxford engineering courses to the credit requirements of a Visiting Student’s home university may seem difficult. In our experience, many such difficulties can be overcome, so do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your requirements. Further details of our courses can be provided.
