Choose our flexible Engineering degree and gain an in-depth understanding of engineering principles across a wide range of disciplines.

The BEng Engineering degree is a high-quality three-year degree designed to offer you the knowledge and skills necessary to join engineering teams on graduation. It is complementary to the four-year Durham MEng, and transfer is possible between the courses up to the end of the second year.

In the first two years, the BEng covers the same broad base of engineering education as the MEng degree. In the third year, you choose to specialise in civil, electronic or mechanical engineering. The BEng prepares you for an exciting career in modern engineering, with the flexibility to respond to changing technologies.

For many, the perfect way to combine a passion for sport and technology is through a career in sports engineering.

Sports design engineering concentrates on the conception, design and manufacturing of sporting equipment. Sports engineers work in nearly every sport, creating designs that meet specialised specifications to improve athlete performance, safety and sports product durability. 

For example, sports engineers could be involved with projects as diverse as designing new high specification football boots or fitness monitoring and improvement products, match and playing surface analysis equipment to developing image processing algorithms which act as analytical tools to determine strategic instances in a game.

The background our students gain in biomechanics also makes careers in medical device development and design a viable career route which is an exciting area due to the new and emerging sports and widening participation in sports for example prosthetics and guidance for partially sighted.

A sports design engineer requires expertise in many technical skills; from engineering design to understanding biomechanics of human movement, technology concepts to production techniques. This is integrated with manufacturing processes, CAD, rapid prototyping and digital prototyping technologies, software and practical skills to turn the design and production process into reality which is fundamental to global market success.

Our accredited engineering degrees focus on developing your knowledge and practical skills on topics across the discipline. You'll graduate as a well-rounded engineer, equipped for your future career.

This foundation year will help you build the base knowledge you need to progress to any of our engineering BEng degrees.

This is a full-time programme of study covering core engineering topics, including:

• foundation mathematics
• applied mechanics
• material science

Taught by world-leading experts from our seven outstanding engineering departments, this four-year course will ensure you develop a broad knowledge and understanding of engineering, while developing skills in independent thinking and the professional skills necessary for a career in industry.

In an increasingly complex and challenging world, knowledge and expertise beyond a single discipline is valuable for 21st-century engineers.

During your first two years you'll study modules across all disciplines and look at engineering in an interdisciplinary context. At the end of year two, you'll choose a specialism from one of our subjects, covering a range of engineering fields.

Engineering at Lancaster will challenge you to design and build things to solve real-world problems. The discipline is particularly interesting to anyone with a technical and creative mind, and enjoys working as part of a team.

In modern engineering, it is almost impossible to define distinct boundaries between disciplines and as such we offer a general engineering entry point. Knowledge and experience spanning across several engineering disciplines will compliment later specialisms, improve career prospects, and is ideal for students who want to defer choosing a specialism. For example, it can be highly beneficial for an electronic and electrical engineer to understand thermal heat transfer, a chemical engineer to understand stress analysis, and a mechanical engineer to be able to programme a simple interface.

During this general first year, we will introduce you to many of the key features of engineering, equipping you with a well-rounded understanding and skill set in areas such as transport technology, chemical engineering, computing and digital electronics. In addition to these, you will gain an appreciation for the interdisciplinary nature of the subject.

Our unique courses explore new and emerging sustainable automotive technologies, such as electric vehicles.

Throughout your studies, you’ll learn to use state-of-the-art tools for vehicle analysis and development, such as computer-aided design, finite element method, fluid dynamics and vehicle dynamics software.

You’ll also participate in Formula Student – Europe’s most established student motorsport competition. This is a valuable opportunity to apply your knowledge and gain hands-on experience.

You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng. The MEng builds on the BEng with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification.

Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BEng or MEng during your studies. Find out more about the benefits of an integrated masters degree.

A deep and specialist understanding of engineering unlocks a world of different opportunities. At Swansea University there is plenty of choice when it comes to engineering degrees.

You can choose to concentrate your interest in a number of fields from aerospace, civil and chemical engineering, to electrical, materials science, mechanical and medical.

If you do not have typical entry qualifications or are unsure which discipline of engineering is right for you, this foundation year will help you to find out.

The integrated Engineering Foundation Year programme can lead to any full engineering degree. It is not a qualification in its own right, but the first year of a four-year BEng degree.

As you progress, your developing analytical abilities will combine with hands-on experience of state-of-the-art equipment, establishing skills which are vital to securing employment in the wider industry.

By starting your Engineering degree studies at Sussex with our Foundation Year, you can explore a variety of engineering applications and discover what’s best for you. You also develop the skills to help you succeed in further study.

Whether you’re most interested in automotive, electrical or mechanical engineering, you’ll learn from our expert faculty and benefit from our links with world-leading companies. After successfully completing your Foundation Year, you can choose which of our Engineering degrees you wish to pursue.

Our integrated Science, Technology and Engineering (STEM) Foundation Year degrees are aimed at students who wish to study a STEM subject, such as engineering, but don’t have the traditional entry requirements.

The course is run on the University of Leicester campus like any other, and you will be studying alongside other students who applied for, and slightly missed out on, a place on a course similar to yours. In the first year of this course you will all be working towards passing a foundation year (year 0), which will enable automatic progression onto year 1 of any of our BEng (or MEng) Engineering courses.

• By completing the STEM Foundation Year you will automatically progress onto the first year of your chosen degree.
• You will be taught by our expert academic staff from across a number of departments. 
• The course strongly emphasises the development of essential professional and personal skills, which are necessary throughout your studies and beyond.
