Our facilities

Our industry-standard laboratories and equipment provide plenty of opportunities to put theory into practice and gain valuable experience using the tools you'll need in the workplace – as well as some more unique equipment too. We encourage our students to learn through creating. You'll have the freedom to invent, create and express your ideas using the latest technologies.

Engineering facilities include a full-sized wind tunnel for testing students' designs, such as parachutes, water speed vehicles and motorbikes. Our flight simulator is equipped with visual display, instrumentation, pilot controls, motion base and instruction station, enabling students to virtually ‘fly' the aircraft they design. There are also 3D printers, a rocket lab, a satellite ground station, specialist concrete, hydraulics, materials, soils, and structures labs.

Students can join the University's motorsport team and participate in the annual Formula E Student competition. This is Europe's highest prole educational motorsport competition and is run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

Future Skills

Knowledge to give you the edge

Embedded within every course curriculum and throughout the whole Kingston experience, Future Skills will play a role in shaping you to become a future-proof graduate, providing you with the skills most valued by employers such as problem-solving, digital competency, and adaptability.

As you progress through your degree, you'll learn to navigate, explore and apply these graduate skills, learning to demonstrate and articulate to employers how future skills give you the edge.

At Kingston University, we're not just keeping up with change, we're creating it.
