    General Engineering,BEng

    About

    This degree is 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, Electrical, Electronic or Mechanical Engineering. The BEng prepares you for an exciting career in modern engineering, with the flexibility to respond to changing technologies.

    There may be the opportunity to study at an overseas institution, or spend time in industry as an additional year between Years 2 and 3. A course highlight is the Engineering Project in the final year where you will work one-to-one with an academic expert on a technical engineering challenge.

    Enter the exciting world of engineering, as you develop the skills to plan, design and analyse engineering projects. Become a specialist in the field that fascinates you, and respond to new and changing technologies.
