School of Earth and Environment www.see.leeds.ac.uk

The School of Earth and Environment is one of the largest and most vibrant Schools in the country. Experts within the School study the Earth from its core to the atmosphere, with expertise ranging from geophysics and surface processes to atmospheric science, climate change and environmental sustainability. We have one of the largest research clusters of Earth, environmental and social scientists in the UK and internationally.

In 2010 our staff and students moved into a new £23 million building with state-of-the-art facilities for both teaching and research, bringing together all the School’s departments under one roof for the first time. The community includes more than 80 academic staff, around 50 additional support and teaching staff and over 100 postgraduate students.

Faculty of Engineering www.engineering.leeds.ac.uk

The Faculty of Engineering is one of the UK’s top Engineering and Computing faculties. 75% of our research activity is rated internationally excellent or world leading in the latest UK government Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). Our teaching and research is delivered though our five schools:

• School of Civil Engineering

• School of Computing

• School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering

• School of Mechanical Engineering

• School of Process Materials and Environmental Engineering

The University of Leeds is one of the UK’s top universities. Established in 1904, we are part of the prestigious Russell Group – the 20 leading research universities in the UK, and are well known throughout the world for our quality teaching and research.
