Women in Engineering
The Faculty of Engineering has a strong commitment to promoting women in engineering and this is reflected in the number of female academics and students working and studying within the Faculty.
In fact, over 20% of our taught students are female and we have 26 female academics working within the faculty, in areas ranging from Infection Control Engineering to Tribology & Surface Engineering to Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing.
In 2008, The University of Leeds was commended for its work to support the career development of talented women working in the traditionally male-dominated fields of science, engineering and technology in the form of a prestigious bronze award under the Athena SWAN Charter for Women in Science.
Our Equality and Diversity webpage provides links to information about work-life balance, support channels and the University's equality services.
