Facilities

  • Interior of engineering laboratory featuring study area
    Exceptionally well-equipped civil engineering materials testing laboratory; a focus for construction materials and geotechnical engineering research.
  • Interior inside a Airbus A320 flight simulator
    The Airbus A320 flight deck simulator provides a facility to undertake a variety of research programmes in areas such as avionics, flight control systems, and human factors.
  • Male student in flight simulator as other student holds it open
    City's Merlin MP520 simulator is fitted with a two-axis motion system and closed cockpit design for greater immersion and is used in the theory and study of aerodynamics and the mechanics of flight.
  • Engineering labs showing city formula racing car
    Each year mechanical engineering students use this workshop to design and build a racing car which is entered in the international Formula Student Competition at Silverstone.
  • Man lying down in laboratory with wires attached to his head.
    The Research Centre for Biomedical Engineering laboratory is a highly specialised facility that is aimed at the development of cutting edge sensing and diagnostic as well as rehabilitation devices.
  • Interior of Finkelstein laboratory computer room
    The Finkelstein Laboratory offers in-depth education in state-of-the-art test and measurement equipment as well as CAD software for undergraduate students of all levels.
  • Female observer behind a one-way mirror looking at a computer screen
    A fully equipped, professional user testing facility capable of evaluating anything from websites and mobile apps to smart TVs and consumer products.
  • Groups of students seated at tables in Ada Lovelace room
    Newly opened study and collaborative space for students and staff.
  • Interior of KeySight laboratory

  • Three students inside engineering centrifuge
    The centrepiece of the Civil Engineering Laboratory accommodates a large flexible lab space and apparatus for physical modelling of complex geotechnical problems at reduced scale and high g-force.
  • Interior of engineering labs featuring the wind tunnels
    2 subsonic wind tunnels, equipped with advanced laser-based velocity measurement systems and a six-component force balance for complete characterisation of the aerodynamic loads on wind-tunnel models.
  • Students conducting experiments near the gastor wind-tunnel
    This is a one-of-a-kind low-turbulence wind tunnel used for the study of laminar flows. Part of the National Wind Tunnel Facility.
  • Academic and postgraduate student beside supersonic wind tunnel
    The supersonic wind tunnel is part of the National Wind Tunnel Facility and is equipped with state-of-the-art test equipment including advanced laser-based velocity measurement systems.
  • Student conducting experiments in micro gas turbines
    Modern test rig for the characterisation of micro gas turbines for electrical power output below 15kW including mapping of compressor and turbine characteristics.
  • Students attending a class in a computer room
    Computer labs are installed with a wide selection of industry-standard software to enable mathematics, engineering, and computer science students to complete their modules.
  • Postgraduate students using 3d software
    Many of the industry-standard software and applications are available for students to install on their personal computers while they are studying at City.

Committed to academic excellence

  • City was the

    1st

    institution in the UK to introduce Aeronautical Engineering courses.

  •  

    Placement marker

    The Professional Liaison Unit has been placing our students with a range of employers for over 20 years.

  • Over

    120 years

    of engineering being part of City’s academic fabric.

See where our students study including our labs, computing facilities and learning spaces. Ideally situated between Tech City, Clerkenwell and the City of London with excellent links to industry.
