Well done for making it to Durham and particularly to Engineering! You will benefit from our general engineering approach which will provide you with a breadth of understanding across the engineering disciplines, as well as opportunities to specialise in later years. Our world-class engineering experts are constantly striving to develop and deliver content to prepare our graduates for the world outside. Engineers continue to be in high demand. They are problem solvers who are able to make advances in materials, design and efficiency that can lead to, for example, clean energy solutions, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, next generation communication networks and electronic systems. I wish you all the best for your time at Durham and I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can. Please do not hesitate to ask questions as you settle into Durham and your new life as an engineering undergraduate.
