Course Content

Whether you opt for the BEng Design Engineering or MEng Design Engineering you will build the confidence to develop and implement modern technologies relevant to electronic products and systems, learning to communicate ideas effectively. Active participation in industry-sponsored live projects help you to gain leadership qualities, management skills and confidence in your work, both on individual and group projects. There is also the option to apply for a placement year between your second and third years. The MEng Design Engineering honours degree allows you to specialise further and give you the option to study new and emerging areas in Design Engineering. You will demonstrate your advanced skills and mastery of the area by working on a team project in your chosen specialism. What is the difference between the BEng and MEng course? There are two honours degree programmes available for each area of study – a three-year Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) and a four-year Master of Engineering (MEng). Both degrees share a common first year but due to the advanced nature of the MEng programme students must demonstrate they have the high-level knowledge and skills required at the end of year 2 and 3 to progress on the programme. You must apply direct to either the BEng or the MEng, but you can also choose to change programme. You must apply for the MEng in Year 1 if you want to guarantee your student loan will cover the fourth year of fees.
