Flexibility and Choice …

    Flexibility is the central feature of our course structure – you can choose your own degree as your interests develop. Although you will apply for one degree specialisation, our flexible course structure means that transfer to a different specialisation is straightforward.

    In many of our degrees, the first two years have a common core for all students. This gives a broad educational base in the subject, from which an informed decision can be made regarding future specialisation.

    You will have to make your final choice of degree specialisation in most cases either at the end of Year 1 or at the end of Year 2. The end of Year 2 is also the time to decide whether or not to continue on a 4-year M.Eng. or transfer to a 3-year B.Eng. programme.

    The flexibility open to you in your specialisation choice at the end of Year 2 depends in part on the programme you have studied in the first two years. In most cases your choice can be different from the one on your UCAS form. Details of any restrictions of specialisation choice are given in the detailed description of each programme.

    Undergraduate Degree Courses …

    All our courses are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).

    B.Eng. Degrees

    If you want to graduate after 3 years, you will need to transfer from an M.Eng. degree onto one of the 3-year B.Eng. degrees. There is usually some choice of which BEng to follow at this stage - details are given in the detailed description of each programme.

    M.Eng. Degrees

    At the end of Year 2 you must choose which MEng you wish to study. The range of choice open to you depends upon the course you have studied in Years 1 and 2 and details of choices available are given in the detailed descriptions of each programme.

    Permission to continue on the various M.Eng. degrees will depend on your academic performance in Year 2, so you may be required to transfer to the B.Eng. degree at this stage.
