Engineering Science encompasses a vast range of subjects, from microelectronics to offshore
oil platforms, and involves the application of creative reasoning, science, mathematics (and of
course experience and common sense) to real problems. The Department of Engineering Science at Oxford has a top-level quality assessment rating for
teaching and a world-class reputation for research. Because we believe that future engineering innovation will benefit from broad foundations as well as
specialised knowledge, undergraduate teaching is based on a unified course in Engineering Science, which integrates study of the subject across the
traditional boundaries of engineering disciplines.

Internationally renowned for academic excellence, with strengths in science

to its metropolitan location you could end up living in halls right in the
centre of London. However it prides itself on its academic rigour, so there's
plenty of studying to do. Whilst some students complain that clubs and
societies aren't very prominent and that international students tend to
stick together, your experience is what you make it. You can end up with
friends from across the world, and most clubs and societies are run in

Cambridge is an historic university with a well-deserved reputation as one
of the best in the world. You'll work hard here and you'll be taught by
people who are real experts in their field (though it does happen that a
great academic is a not-so-great teacher). You might even have 9am
lectures on a Saturday (shocked emoji). There's also lots to do at the
university outside of studying, from the Students' Union, Footlights comedy
club, competitive rowing, music, theatre and extravagant May Balls. It's a
small town so you'll be able to walk or cycle everywhere quickly, and you'll
constantly bump into your friends, which can be a blessing or a curse. The
town is ridiculously pretty but let's be honest, it doesn't host the best
music venues, restaurants or other cultural institutions. Students still
manage to go out all week in the local clubs (weekends are left to the
locals), and run college parties, called 'bops', each term.

Brindley Place (great for fans of fine dining and exquisite canals) and the
unforgettable Snobs nightclub (great for fans of good music and £1

There's an abundance of things to do in Manchester. Alongside museums,
pubs and cafes, major clubs include Deansgate Locks, Printworks and The
Birdcage, which hosts legendary student night 'Rehab' on Wednesdays.
Manchester is also strong academically, and is amongst the very strongest
in media and film, helped by the fact that the university is close to the BBC's
new Salford base. As the university balances a strong academic reputation
with a great social scene it's often over-applied to.
