The Department of Engineering Science is the academic department dedicated to teaching and researching engineering at the University of Oxford, which is part of the university's Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division. It is principally located on the triangular plot formed by Banbury Road to the west, Parks Road to the east and Keble Road to the south. The main building is the tall 1960s Thom Building that dominates the local landscape, especially the view from the University Parks to the east. Further lower buildings have been added to the north since then. The department shares buildings with the Department of Materials.
