Engineering degrees

Engineers are creative problem solvers. Through hands-on, challenging and collaborative project work you are encouraged to develop sustainable solutions to contemporary issues as you build the practical, scientific and research skills needed to become a professional engineer.

In engineering, 100% of our research impact is assessed as outstanding or very considerable in terms of its reach and significance in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework.

Our degrees in engineering

Undergraduate degrees

We offer BEng, MEng and foundation year routes for our undergraduate courses as well as BSc(Hons) top up degrees.

Our foundation years are a great way to prepare you for your degree if you don't have the grades or specific subjects needed or if you've just changed your mind about which subject to follow.

The MEng courses include an additional year of masters-level study.

Top-up degrees are a way to convert your qualifications and experience into an honours degree. They generally take one year of full-time study to complete.
