Automatic Control & Systems Engineering
Our Vision
Control and systems theory plays a crucial role in modern science and technology as well as economics, management and even politics. We believe that no other branch of engineering has a wider impact and potential to contribute to the future prosperity and economic competiveness of the UK.
As the only department in the UK that is dedicated to Control and Systems Engineering and one of the largest departments in Europe, one of our core goals is to train the next generation of world-class researchers in this field, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to excel as independent researchers and professionals.
