Faculty of STEM

Delivering the skills and experience you need for a career in STEM, built and shaped by industry.

About the faculty

Arden’s Faculty of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) prepares you for the future workplace by engaging with employers to develop degree courses which connect you directly to industry and its needs.

That’s why we’re the perfect choice for anyone looking to upskill or reskill in this field, including those who are new to STEM and are just discovering the exciting employment opportunities it unlocks.

Authenticity is at the heart of what we do at the Faculty of STEM. We want you to learn through real-world practice, which is why we focus on practical assessment methodologies to ensure that your learning experience progresses with your future career path in mind.

Today’s ‘perfect storm’ of older professionals retiring combined with global industry being eager to embrace the latest technology and undertake pioneering projects is creating an enormous skills gap in STEM. Studying with us, you’ll work on live projects provided by our industry partners and learn how to solve the problems that global industry is facing today. This includes getting experience in real life STEM contexts with industry feedback on your work, giving you the best of both worlds; a robust academic curriculum and first-hand experience of your potential future.

All of this is delivered by our academic team here at the Faculty of STEM, all of whom are industry practitioners who know what will be required of you after you graduate. You’ll be able to lean on the experiences of these passionate faculty members to gain the confidence and capabilities you’ll need to succeed in your future career.

Student Stories

I have enjoyed doing my master’s here because it’s not like a traditional university where you sit in a classroom and a lecturer talks and you write down everything. I like that when we come here there’s actually a discussion and we do a lot of analysis.

What I love about Arden University is being made to feel part of a new kind of global learning.

Studying at Arden University has been great because I have now got that balance to run my family, work part time, and also study online. So it’s been really fulfilling that I can do a degree while looking after my family.

It’s a great way to study if you’re looking for flexibility. It was challenging to balance a full-time job with my degree but once I was in a routine, it was much easier to manage everything. Online learning has actually helped me become very good with time management and given me the ability to prioritise tasks.
