About this course

If you are unsure about which engineering discipline you are most interested in, you can apply to our general engineering choice (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

*BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Chemical Engineering only available if you have taken Chemistry for Chemical Engineers as an outside course option in Year 1.

Transfers to Electronics and Computer Science may be considered on a competitive basis but are not guaranteed.

You cannot join BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Structural Engineering with Architecture in Year 2. You must join these directly in Year 1.
