Re: Engineering UniversitiesWell it really depends on what you want to achieve in your career.. If you want to go for the gulf, US ect. and work there in the future, you'd better go for a uni with international reputation.. Internationally for mechanical engineering I would say :(Original post by AlexSanderson)
Okay thanks! I have a feeling it would probably be Mechanical Engineering, any suggestions?
1. Cambridge
2. Imperial
3. Sheffield-Bristol-Manchester ( they are not that different from each other although manchester ranks higher internationally )

If you want to stay in UK, you might want to go for:
1. Cambridge
2. Imperial
3. Loughborough- Bristol - SouthamptonLast edited by bilgin_143; 03-08-2012 at 12:17. -

Re: Engineering UniversitiesBath barely makes it in the top 100 in the world rankings. And btw, I don't care about the rankings, certainly the biased, satisfaction based local rankings such as sunday times ( come on, Imperial College ranked n. 13, really ??? ), I just wanted to give a resource from which the thread starter can start forming an idea, and then get to know those top unis (via their websites, visits, reviews etc... ), and then choose..(Original post by ahpadt)
If rankings mean anything to you (they shouldn't), then Bath was 3rd for EEE in the Sunday Times Ranking for 2011. Lot's of lab sessions. Cambridge is super theory heavy.
You cannot deny that the ones I've stated are good unis, Bath may be a really good uni too, but it's rather understated..Last edited by bilgin_143; 05-08-2012 at 00:01. -

Re: Engineering UniversitiesBath may not do well on the world stage given it is a relatively new uni, however it is consistently in the top ten uk for all the ranking tables both overall and for engineering. It's also one of the founding memebers of the IET power academy. It is certainly not understated by any means, it is one of the UKs best engineering univerisities, whether you like it or not.(Original post by bilgin_143)

Re: Engineering UniversitiesNo one really cares about your IET power academy which you are posting everywhere. And Bath is certainly NOT one of the best in engineering.(Original post by Foghorn Leghorn)

Re: Engineering UniversitiesIt is regarded as one of the best, it's always ranked in the top ten for engineering and overall. It is very well renowned engineering university. Just because you have some sort of problem with Bath and make sweeping assumptions about the uni doesn't mean a thing. Your opinion=/=fact!(Original post by bilgin_143)

Re: Engineering UniversitiesI don't have any problem with Bath. I don't think it's as good, I have the right to state my opinions, and I can think and post about whatever the crap I want, it's called freedom of expression, in case you've never heard of it. You cannot dictate what I am going to post, as they are opinions rather than hard facts that I'm stating, troll..(Original post by Foghorn Leghorn)

And it's not just me saying that, but it's also the middle east regional manager of Bechtel who told me that when I had to choose between my current uni, Illinois, Purdue, Michigan, Sheffield and Bath, what about that, troll, is this guy who has been recruiting people all his life making a sweeping assumption ?Last edited by bilgin_143; 05-08-2012 at 00:47. -

Re: Engineering UniversitiesCalling me an ****ing troll doesn't make your argument any stronger I'm afraid, it just makes you look petty.(Original post by bilgin_143)

Yes you do have a right to state your opinion but you don't have the right to not have your opinion challenged, "it's called freedom of expression, in case you've never heard of it". Especially when your opinions as you say aren't based on "hard facts". So don't get upset when I point out that you are talking a load of pish.Last edited by Penguinsaysquack; 05-08-2012 at 01:04. -

Re: Engineering UniversitiesI never said my opinions weren't based on facts, I said I'm not stating hard facts. This does not imply that what I'm saying is a load of "pish", and it is that language that makes me call you a f'ng troll, it's not because I want to make my argument look stronger. Troll your earned and well deserved title, do you understand that ?(Original post by Foghorn Leghorn)
