Automatic Control And Systems Engineering, University Of Sheffield

We are the largest department in Europe dedicated to the study of control and systems engineering. We collaborate with industry on cutting-edge research. Our graduates help shape the world we live in.

The Department was established in 1968, in response to the growing importance of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering to all branches of industry world-wide.
We have since grown to provide a range of undergraduate degree courses, postgraduate degree courses, and continuing professional development opportunities in Automatic Control and Systems Engineering and associated topics.
Our growth has been due both to the increasing demand for education in the area and the effects of rapid changes in computing technology.

Staffing
With over 120 academic staff, research assistants and research students, we are one of the largest academic groups in Europe devoted to the subject.

Multi-disciplinary
Our research and education is multi-disciplinary, involving inter-departmental co-operation and national and international collaborations with both academic and industrial partners.

Industrial Input
Ours strengths have been recognised by the establishment of a Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Control and Systems Engineering within the Department. The Department also has an active Industrial Liaison Committee.
