Course summary
Gain both academic knowledge and practical experience on this unique interdisciplinary degree. Fast-paced and challenging, you'll be taught by world-leading academics across seven departments. Develop a strong understanding of the breadth of engineering disciplines and how they all fit together, before specialising in your area of interest in the final two years of the course.
Build the strongest foundations for your career by becoming a truly interdisciplinary engineer: study general engineering.
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.
