Engineering is a broad subject, encompassing many different activities across various fields of human endeavour. While engineers work in many different industries, from aerospace and automotive to energy and medicine, all engineers use creativity to design solutions to the problems we face in the world today.
Our Interdisciplinary ApproachProfessional engineers in today's world are required to work with colleagues from a range of engineering disciplines. All engineering students at the University of Aberdeen undertake studies from electrical and electronic, civil, chemical, mechanical and petroleum engineering during their first two years.This ensures our graduates are experienced and knowledgeable about the various skills and challenges each discipline would face, making them excellent choices for any engineering team.This approach also gives students flexibility in their degree - rather than being locked into a specific programme when applying, our students can choose the path that they prefer once they have experienced all five disciplines.- Chemical Engineering- Civil Engineering- Electrical and Electronic Engineering- Mechanical Engineering- Petroleum EngineeringThe four-year BEng Engineering honours (H100) and five year MEng Engineering honours (H104) programmes are therefore ideally suited to students who are not sure which branch of engineering they wish to specialise in at the time of applying. If however you already know what area you wish to study, you can apply directly to that programme.
You must transfer to one of the other specialist programmes, which will be dependent on the optional courses that you take, before or at the commencement of the third year of the programme.The four year BEng Engineering Honours programme and the five year MEng Engineering Honours programme are both fully accredited by the Engineering Institutions (see Professional Accreditation section).
