What you will study

First-year students in several engineering programmes, including in the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering programme, all start their degree with a broad knowledge and a command of the skills that underpin modern engineering. This gives you plenty more opportunities to broaden your social circle and long-term professional network. Interdisciplinary working is now the norm in industry, and a good understanding of disciplines other than your own will serve you well when you enter the workplace.

Career pathways

You will be encouraged to lead, to think in innovative ways, and to challenge existing practice – equipping you with the skills and confidence to make a difference. Our Industrial Liaison Office supports you to engage with potential employers from year one of your study.
