What you will study

First-year students studying Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and Design Engineering, all start their degrees with a broad knowledge of the fundamentals and a command of the core skills underpinning modern engineering. You'll share common units with your peers in other disciplines and work on an interdisciplinary project. By meeting and working closely with others from the start of your degree, you'll broaden your social circle and long-term professional network.

Career pathways

Our courses are fully accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Upon completion, you will have already met part (BEng) or all (MEng) of the benchmark academic requirements for becoming an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng).
