    Course description

    Why study this course?

    Top three for general engineering

    Sheffield is one of the top three UK universities for the subject, according to The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024.

    Customise your degree

    Study here and you have the option to specialise in 11 streams across the Faculty of Engineering – from aerospace to software engineering.

    Access expert teaching

    Get support from across the faculty and sample engineering from many different angles to help you decide your future engineering discipline.

    Practical, hands-on experience

    Benefit from state-of-the-art laboratories across the University, including everything The Diamond has to offer.

    Build the strongest foundations for your career by becoming a truly interdisciplinary engineer: study general engineering.

    If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing the foundation year, you can start a BEng or MEng degree.

    With a selection of modules from seven departments and a choice of 11 specialisms, you'll immerse yourself in the varied fields of engineering.

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

    By choosing to take an MEng, you’ll be taking a longer period of study with an integrated masters.

    Taught by world-leading experts from our seven outstanding engineering departments, this three-year course will ensure you develop the broadest possible understanding of the field.

    At the beginning of your degree, you'll study modules across all disciplines, after which you’ll choose one of 11 possible specialisms – or continue studying a variety of subjects.

    You'll spend the latter stages of your degree studying your chosen stream. The interdisciplinary ethos of your degree will be continued in the industry-led final-year project.
