[3] The first engineering workshop at Cambridge was constructed in 1878 in a wooden hut measuring fifty by twenty feet.

Post-graduate education consists of both taught courses and research degrees (PhD, MPhil, and MRes).

In addition to the CDTs, the Department has a limited number of EPSRC PhD studentships available for both British and EU students.
