About Us
The Faculty of Technology, Engineering and the Environment (TEE) is located across two campuses - City North Campus and City Centre Campus.
TEE was formed in early 2009 by consolidating three of our existing centres, the Technology Innovation Centre; the Department of Computing; and the School of Property, Construction and Planning.
Today, the Faculty comprises four schools that, together, are able to respond dynamically to the multiple modern technological challenges posed by fast-paced industries.
Their shared vision is to create a powerful centre of technological excellence and innovation, to educate to the highest quality in technologies and engineering and equip students with the technical skills to contribute to the workplace as well as to the wider industry.
Our close links to industry allow students to become involved in the latest research or make a real contribution to business.
We also offer international links that allow us to explore further the emerging technologies, which are crucial for knowledge-sharing. They also offer opportunities for overseas exchange.
About 4,000 students are currently enrolled on our courses - and record numbers of students are applying to study here and become part of our modern, supportive community.
Through a vast choice of accredited courses supported by more than 300 staff, plus vigorous research activities, TEE has gained a reputation as the West Midlands' chief hub of knowledge, technology and skills-transfer into industry.
Our schools have been recognised as leaders of education in national surveys and education league tables:
- Planning has the best overall student satisfaction rate in the country, scoring 96 per cent in the 2009 National Student Survey.
- General Engineering is ranked in the top 20 and Mechanical Engineering is ranked in the top 30 in the UK, according to the 2010 Guardian League Table.
- Building and Town and Country Planning are ranked in the top 30 in the country in the Independent Complete University Guide 2010.
- We are ranked 10th in the UK for Land and Property Management provision according to the Independent Complete University Guide 2011. Town Planning is ranked 25th, and Building is 29th.
