Course summary

Our General Engineering degree aims to produce engineers of the future who want to make a real-world impact. You'll gain powerful, in-demand skills and expertise across multiple engineering fields, coupled with essential problem-solving and project management capabilities. This will prepare you for the diverse and complex challenges of tomorrow's workplace, and ensure you're highly adaptable and sought after in a rapidly evolving global job market.

Taught by award-winning experts and leading researchers, our unique curriculum offers a blend of leading engineering specialisms. You'll apply mathematical and scientific principles with hands-on, practical skills, tackling authentic design challenges and real-world projects from day one. The first two years build a solid foundation in core engineering principles, while the third year allows you to specialise with your choice of modules and apply your knowledge to real projects, giving you a significant head start in your professional journey.

You can also choose to study for the integrated Master’s course (MEng), adding a fourth year to your degree during which you’ll undertake substantial group research and a design project, integrating advanced knowledge from four years of study. The MEng is the main qualification pathway for students who make an early decision to train as engineers.

Accreditation

This programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. The integrated master’s programme – the MEng – fully meets the requirements.

Key benefits
