Course summary

Overview

Engineering is the pursuit of solutions: solving complex global problems through innovation, imagination, and ingenuity. Engineers create, design, and manufacture, playing a crucial role in shaping the future of society.

At UEA, our engineering course will develop your capacity to tackle society’s biggest challenges. Our integrated MEng Engineering with a Year in Industry programme allows you to gain a wide base of knowledge across engineering subjects during your first year. As a result, you’ll have access to an array of career pathways, alongside the option of further study. You’ll also have the chance to specialise in energy, mechanical, or electrical and electronic engineering from your second year.

Your first-year modules will give you the knowledge, skills, and industrial connections to support your aspirations. Then, in year two, you can tailor your course to match your interests, selecting optional modules to broaden your knowledge. You can also take optional modules in Environmental Sciences or Computing Sciences to broaden your knowledge base and increase your employability skills. You’ll spend your third year in industry, applying your knowledge and skills in a practical context, before returning to UEA to complete your studies. The MEng version of this course culminates in a team-based multidisciplinary design project in which you and your teammates will work on an industry brief. This project will give you a taste of post-graduate life and may even lead to various career opportunities.

As an engineering student, you’ll have full access to industry-standard facilities in Productivity East, including computer aided design (CAD) stations, 3D printers, subtractive manufacturing technology, and collaborative robots. You’ll also encounter events like our annual Select Partnership Scheme where you can showcase your skill set to industry professionals.

Upon graduation, you’ll be a skilled engineer with a wide range of personal, professional and employability skills. With the support of an award-winning careers service, UEA Engineering graduates are equipped for a wide range of rewarding careers in sectors like energy, mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering, manufacturing and more.
