Department of Computing, Engineering and Technology

The Department of Computing, Engineering and Technology is a leading provider of both undergraduate and postgraduate courses which attract students from every corner of the UK and from over 30 countries worldwide.

Our main goal is to enhance your education and ensure you gain the skills and qualifications you need to change your life. You'll also have a great time while you learn at Sunderland as the staff are friendly and approachable and take great pride in their teaching.

We work closely with employers to ensure that our courses give you the skills that they are looking for, from big name employers like Microsoft, Nissan, SAP, IBM, and Yahoo, to smaller high-tech companies who focus on new product development. The department is also a leading partner in the brand new Sunderland Software City initiative, which aims to grow the software industry in our city and region. Through this our students have the chance to become the new wave of software entrepreneurs - maybe not the next Bill Gates, but who knows?

We also pride ourselves on our research into areas such as Systems Engineering, HCI and Usability, Automotive Mechatronics, Materials and Structural Analysis, Manufacturing Systems, Advanced Maintenance, Human Factors, Information Retrieval, Intelligent Systems, Internet Technologies and E-learning. The Digital Innovation Research Beacon integrates research activities in the areas of computing, information systems, engineering, automotive technology and low carbon technology.
