The Festival of Design and Engineering 2024 will take place on Friday 21 June to Monday 24 June 2024. 

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.
