Discover the UCL Engineering Faculty's Innovation and Enterprise pages
As Engineers, we believe that practical application and interaction with industry are an inherent part of what we do. We are always keen to talk to companies and external organisations, both large and small to explore how we might collaborate.
Within these pages, you can explore the varied ways in which we collaborate with external organisations.
The department has an advisory board consisting of industry leaders who provide informed advice on strategic concerns and issues likely to affect the future of the department. We work closely with our Industry Advisory Board who regularly monitors and reviews the programmes to ensure they maintain their industrial relevance.
