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. The fourth year provides more flexibility and specialisation, with a choice of modules across traditional engineering domains and interdisciplinary fields including quantum, robotics, AI and intelligent systems, renewable energy, and aerodynamic design. You will then undertake a major group project inspired by an industry or research challenge within a cohort that includes students from our Electrical Engineering MEng and MSc in Robotics. Projects are inspired by real-world problems in areas such as global engineering challenges, robotics and AI, health and wellbeing technology, environme
