Society
Durham University Engineering Society exists to promote and encourage interest in and understanding of Science and Engineering to the whole University. It seeks to broaden the horizons of its members, primarily through careers presentations and industrial visits.
DUES will organise practical activities and develop links with organisations and institutions to broaden the Engineering knowledge and skills of its members.
DUES also organises social events to help foster a strong community spirit for those with an interest in Science and Engineering.
Working With Other Organisations
DUES will be working with a number of other organisations over the year, to provide you with the opportunity to attend their events or get involved with projects set up by them.
