Engineer your future

Many of our BEng / MEng degrees share a common first year, giving you a broad foundation and the freedom to explore. 
This built-in flexibility means you can easily transfer between courses throughout and at the end of your first year—ensuring your degree evolves with your interests and future ambitions.
Mechanical engineering, marine technology and civil / civil and coastal engineering benefit from shared content as do electrical and electroinic engineering and robotics.
BEng or MEng?
BEng (Bachelor of Engineering) is the traditional way of studying engineering and involves three years of study in your chosen subject, or four years with a placement. 
MEng (Integrated Master's) is a four-year degree (or five with a placement) that extends your studies to Master's level and provides a quicker, more direct route to chartered engineer status.
 

Degrees with a foundation year

If your current qualifications don’t allow you direct entry to degree level, a degree with a foundation year may be a good option.
The foundation year is an integral part of the extended degree and successful completion of the foundation year (Year 0) will enable you to confidently progress onto Year 1 of your chosen degree.
 

Choosing 50¶È»Ò provided me with a fantastic understanding of the industry, knowledge of practical engineering design and naval architecture.
