NCS Engineering School

The NCS Engineering School was set up to provide a dedicated service to those students who aspire to study Engineering at some of the world’s leading universities, before heading into successful careers in the field.

With increasing numbers of NCS students wanting to study Engineering or Physics at high-profile Universities, The NCS Engineering School has quickly established a local and national reputation for supporting students with their applications. Every year a large number of students make successful applications to Oxbridge, Imperial, UCL and MIT to name but a few. The NCS Engineering School consists of a team of dedicated experts and is ably led by Dr Maugeri.

When I joined The NCS I was thinking of going into either finance or mechanical engineering. Through the engineering school they really set my mind on civil engineering. - Shayaan

The Student’s View On NCS Engineering School

I took part in a physics lecture series which was incredible because it taught me a completely new topic - quantum mechanics - in a university style lecture setting. - Ayesha

NCS Engineering School Students Take Part In UCL Project X Wearable Technology Project

In terms of opportunities, right from the start there were so many that were immediately made available to me. - Ayesha
