BEng (Hons) in Engineering (Common Entry)

Students who choose this Honours Degree Engineering programme will experience a common first year which will ensure a broad learning experience and offer the possibility to make an informed decision at the end of Year 1. The first year is designed to ensure that you are well informed and well prepared to enter one of the possible 3 options of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Systems or Civil Engineering.

In year 1 topics such as computing, mathematics, mechanics and materials will be covered as well as a number of introductory modules such as Introduction to Engineering.

Honours Degree in Mechanical Engineering

• Mechanical Engineering covers all industry sectors including power generation such as wind turbines or major power plants, aerospace, heating, transport, engine manufacture, pharmaceuticals, food processing plants, design and research.

Honours Degree in Electrical Engineering

• Electronic and electrical engineers are employed in many industries, with the main areas being in electronics, IT, manufacturing, power, transport, construction and building services. Opportunities are also found in telecommunications, research and development, and petrochemicals. This new course aims to produce well-rounded engineers with a high level of analytical and engineering design skills.

Honours Degree in Civil Engineering

• Civil engineering is about protecting, creating and improving our everyday environment. It involves the planning, design and construction of facilities that we require for living, for industry and for transport. Roads, bridges, harbours, buildings, wastewater treatment systems, dams and sustainable energy schemes such as wind farms or hydroelectric stations.
