MEng (Hons) Engineering (Study Abroad) at Lancaster University

Programme overview

In modern engineering there are no distinct boundaries between specialisms, and all engineers require a broad-based knowledge of the fundamental principles to be able to work across multidisciplinary teams. At their core, an engineer is a creative and technically minded individual who can conceive ideas, design and implement them. They are pioneers and problem solvers, innovators and analysers.
