Engineering (BEng/MEng) H100

Introducing BEng/MEng Engineering

If you are unsure about which engineering discipline you are most interested in, you can apply to our general engineering option (entry code: H100). This option allows you to defer your choice of discipline to the start of the second semester.

This programme does not lead to a general engineering degree. Instead, at the start of Year 2, you will join one of the following degree programmes:

• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Chemical Engineering*
• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Civil Engineering
• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Electronics and Electrical Engineering
• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Electrical and Mechanical Engineering
• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Mechanical Engineering
• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Structural and Fire Safety Engineering

You cannot join the following programmes. You must join these directly at Year 1:

• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Electronics and Computer Science
• BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Structural Engineering with Architecture

*BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Chemical Engineering only available if you have taken Chemistry 1A and Chemistry 1B as outside course options in Year 1.

How will I learn?

The exciting nature of engineering means you will have a diverse learning experience throughout your degree.

Teaching can be through a mixture of:

• lectures
• tutorials
• laboratory sessions
• projects
• group work

In your final years, you will dedicate more time to private study therefore you will need to be well-motivated and organised.

You will also receive individual supervision with projects.

How will I be assessed?
