The Festival of Design and Engineering 2026 will take place on Friday 19 June to Saturday 20 June 2026. Our Industry Private Viewing event will be on Thursday 18 June 2026.

It's one of the busiest highlights of the academic year. Students improving their designs and prototypes and putting the finishing touches to their stands. Academics excited to see how their protégés will pull it together. A buzz of interest on campus as some of the biggest names in design and engineering look out for the brightest talent of tomorrow.
