You can keep your course general or tailor your degree in later years with optional materials modules.As well as lectures and tutorials, you'll learn through experiencing real-world engineering situations with extensive practical work in important manufacturing processes and using the latest investigative equipment. You will also have the opportunity to interact with industry and gain valuable experience of the workplace. It is possible to switch between the BEng and MEng (based on performance on the exams in the course) at the end of the second year.Industry contactOver many years, we have developed close relationships with businesses across a broad range of industry sectors.
