Congratulations and Welcome to the Department of Engineering
Welcome and congratulations on joining our Department. This is an exciting time to become a professional engineer. The world is changing with global challenges such as the need to counter climate change and the impact of the global pandemic. Engineers have played a pivotal role in addressing societal challenges and opportunities for hundreds of years. Our contribution is probably needed now, more than ever before, to ensure a sustainable future for all. Our programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels are continually being updated and are delivered by world-class engineering experts in their fields, to best prepare our graduates for what lies ahead in their professional development. I wish you the very best for your time with us here at Durham and afterwards and I look forward to meeting many of you as you study with us.
