UNIVERSITIES

We are proud to work alongside a number of top universities across the UK, supporting students, academics and research teams with theoretical and practical engineering experience. We aim to help bridge the gap between the classroom and industry by sharing real-world knowledge.

Imperial College London is consistently ranked among the world's leading universities for engineering. It's Faculty of Engineering is home to some of the UK's brightest students, undertaking cutting-edge research and developing innovative solutions.

Having taken on former students from Imperial College London, we know first-hand the quality that they produce.

Located in the heart of South Yorkshire, the University of Sheffield is a Russell Group university with a long history dating back to 1905. The campus forms part of the city itself, creating a lively student environment with everything from independent cafés and cultural attractions to the nearby Peak District within easy reach.

Sheffield is known for its welcoming community and strong engineering heritage, where students have the opportunity to study in a city that has played an important role in British manufacturing.

The University of Birmingham is one of the UK's leading Russell Group universities, recognised for its excellent teaching and research. With a strong reputation across engineering and the sciences, it provides students with an outstanding academic environment and continues to rank among the country's top universities for student satisfaction.

Founded in 1965, the University of Warwick is the youngest member of the Russell Group and has established itself as one of the UK's most respected. Located on the outskirts of Coventry, Warwick is known for its forward-thinking approach to education and strong partnerships with industry.

The university encourages collaboration across disciplines, giving students the opportunity to tackle complex real-world challenges while learning from leading academics. Combined with excellent career support and a global network of employers and alumni, Warwick provides an environment where students can develop the knowledge and confidence to succeed after graduation.

Based in the historic city of Oxford, Oxford Brookes University is known for its practical approach to learning and its close links with business and industry. Students are encouraged to apply their knowledge through real projects and collaborative working, helping them build valuable experience alongside their studies.

Founded roughly 900 years ago, the University of Oxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Made up of historic colleges, libraries and museums spread throughout the city, Oxford offers a unique environment where centuries of tradition sit alongside modern student life. Its distinctive setting and global reputation continue to attract students from around the world.

Located on England's south coast, the University of Southampton combines city life with easy access to the New Forest and the coastline. Its campuses are spread across the city, creating a lively student environment with a diverse community from around the world.

Southampton has a long connection to engineering, technology and maritime industries, giving students the opportunity to study in a city with a rich industrial heritage and strong links to local employers.

How We've Supported Universities

Educational Seminars

Our educational seminars are designed to give students an introduction to load measurement and its importance within engineering. Covering load cells, strain gauging and calibration, we explain how accurate force measurement supports testing, product development and research across a wide range of industries. By sharing real-world examples and industry experience, we help students gain a deeper understanding of the technologies and techniques used every day by engineers.

Student Projects

We support students with engineering projects that involve load measurement, understanding forces and strain analysis, providing technical guidance throughout the entire process. Whether selecting and providing the right load cell, advising on strain gauge installation or helping to plan a testing methodology, our engineers are on hand to share practical knowledge gained from decades of industry experience. By supporting both individual and group projects, we help students approach testing with greater confidence and produce reliable, meaningful results.

Research, Reports & Dissertations

Technical reports, research projects and dissertations often rely on accurate test data. Where load measurement forms part of a student's work, we can provide guidance on topics such as testing methods and calibration, helping them better understand the practical aspects of their research. Our aim is to complement academic learning with real experience, giving students greater confidence in their work.
