General Engineering

About this programme

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. Engineers of the future not only need to have in-depth, specialist knowledge but increasingly require skills such as critical thinking, project management, and emotional intelligence to solve complex challenges and create innovations that work
