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, research and essential engineering 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 engineering degree courses as well as BSc(Hons) top-up degrees.

Our foundation years are a great way for you to prepare for your engineering 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 engineering 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.

Top-up degrees
