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.
Engineering is one of the most satisfying professions. You get results and, at the end of the day, you get to see your work in action. As an Engineer, you need to be good at mathematics and to have a sound grasp of basic sciences, but you must also be creative and be able to sell your ideas to clients and colleagues.
The School of Engineering follows a general engineering model, which means all BEng Engineering (4 years) and MEng Engineering (5 years) students study the fundamentals of engineering during their first two years before transferring to one of our specialist degree programmes by the start of year 3: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Petroleum Engineering. The four year BEng Engineering honours and five year MEng Engineering honours 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.

Course Details - Modules
The first two years cover general Engineering, with elements of Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum and Electrical/Electronics, as well as Civil. In the later years you specialise, following your chosen discipline in greater depth. You do not need to finalise your choice of specialisation until you begin third year. This is also the point at which a final decision between MEng and BEng must be made. Successful BEng candidates will be offered the chance to change to the MEng.
Course Details – Assessment Method
Students are assessed by any combination of three assessment methods: coursework such as essays and reports completed throughout the course; practical assessments of the skills and competencies they learn on the course; and written examinations at the end of each course. The exact mix of these methods differs between subject areas, years of study and individual courses.
Honours projects are typically assessed on the basis of a written dissertation.
