If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you.
Build the strongest foundations for your career by becoming a truly interdisciplinary engineer: study general engineering.After successfully completing the foundation year, you can start the MEng degree.With a selection of modules from seven departments and a choice of 11 specialisms, you'll immerse yourself in the varied fields of engineering.In an increasingly complex and challenging world, knowledge and expertise beyond a single discipline is invaluable for 21st-century engineers.By choosing to take an MEng, you’ll be taking a longer period of study with an integrated masters.Taught by world-leading experts from our seven outstanding engineering departments, this three-year course will ensure you develop the broadest possible understanding of the field.At the beginning of your degree, you'll study modules across all disciplines, after which you’ll choose one of 11 possible specialisms – or continue studying a variety of subjects.You'll spend the latter stages of your degree studying your chosen stream. The interdisciplinary ethos of your degree will be continued in the industry-led final-year project.
