Future Engineering-dummy
Why Explore Engineering in Oxford?
Meet visionary entrepreneurs who have built and scaled successful startups from the ground up. In these exclusive sessions, scholars gain real-world insight into what it takes to transform an idea into a thriving business — from securing funding and managing growth to leading with innovation, adaptability, and purpose.
01
Science Museum, London
At the world’s oldest independent scientific academy, scholars discover where centuries of breakthroughs began. They explore how pioneering discoveries in physics, engineering, and technology have shaped the modern world — and how today’s engineers build on this legacy through collaboration, experimentation, and innovation.
02
BMW Group MINI, Plant
At the BMW Group MINI Plant, scholars witness one of the most advanced automotive manufacturing systems in the world. They go behind the scenes to see robots and human engineers working side by side — a live demonstration of automation, design, efficiency, and quality control at scale.
“I was really shocked by how technology is right now because I never thought what robots can do to this point. The BMW plant is such a big factory but only 130 people working here which is so insane!”
03
Science Museum, London
At the Science Museum, scholars explore the evolution of engineering — from early mechanical inventions to space exploration, computing, and artificial intelligence. Through interactive exhibits and guided exploration, they see how creative problem-solving and technological progress have transformed the way we live, travel, and communicate.
04
Institution Of Mechanical, Engineers
At the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, scholars get an insider’s view of modern engineering practice. Through talks and activities with industry professionals, they learn about cutting-edge work in sustainability, robotics, and product design. The visit highlights how engineers balance creativity, responsibility, and technical skill to solve global challenges.
05
Autonomous Vehicle Workshop With Zeev Suprun (Oxa)
Experience the future of transportation in a practical workshop led by Zeev Suprun, Senior Software Engineer at Oxa, a leader in autonomous driving technology. Scholars discover how robotics, AI, and machine learning are revolutionising mobility — and even get to explore the logic behind self-driving vehicles through real-world demonstrations and collaborative design activities.
What You’ll Learn
01
How engineers turn ideas into real-world products, machines, and systems
From the first sketch on a napkin to the last bolt on the production line — the loop that turns a concept into something you can hold.
02
How automation, robotics, and AI work together in modern manufacturing
03
How scientific discoveries at institutions like The Royal Society shape engineering today
04
How autonomous vehicles “think” and make decisions using sensors, software, and data
05
The role of sustainability and responsible design in tackling global challenges
