Why study Engineering at Âé¶¹ÆÆ½â°æ?

"We're not just studying in lectures. We're out building, testing and designing. It's hands-on, creative and sets you up for success."

Engineer your future

Many of our BEng / MEng degrees share a common first year, giving you a broad foundation and the freedom to explore. This built-in flexibility means you can easily transfer between courses throughout and at the end of your first year – ensuring your degree evolves with your interests and future ambitions.
BEng or MEng?
BEng (Bachelor of Engineering) is the traditional way of studying engineering and involves three years of study in your chosen subject, or four years with a placement. 
MEng (integrated masters) is a four-year degree (or five with a placement) that extends your studies to masters level and provides a quicker, more direct route to chartered engineer status.
Degrees with a foundation year
If your current qualifications don’t allow you direct entry to degree level, a degree with a foundation year may be a good option.
BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering with Foundation Year
BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Foundation Year
BEng (Hons) Robotics with Foundation Year
