General Engineering with an Industrial Placement Year MEng (Hons)

Course description

With an integrated masters and an industrial placement year, you’ll become a truly interdisciplinary engineer with great career prospects. 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.

By taking an industrial placement year, you'll spend a year working in a placement, in which you earn a salary and have reduced fees. While placements are not guaranteed and are your responsibility to source, you’ll receive plenty of advice and support from our dedicated Industrial Placement Year team.

Links with companies such as Rolls-Royce, Boeing, Astra-Zeneca and Caterpillar make Sheffield the right choice if you want to do a placement year – and mean we have world-famous companies joining us on campus for employability fairs and networking sessions.
