The centre's research and teaching aims to deliver a programme that is dedicated to meeting the challenges inherent in dealing with current and future large scale complex information technology systems and systems of systems. The focus of the centre is to increase research engineers’ competencies to address these challenges: from mathematical and formal theoretical methods, to high integrity systems and software engineering to socio technical systems engineering and studies of complexity in organisations. In training research engineers, the centre aims to produce the next generation of systems engineers and technology innovation leaders.
Note: Following a government funding change in 2014/15, this centre is not currently recruiting for new EngDs.
