In modern engineering there are no distinct boundaries between specialisms, and all engineers require a broad-based knowledge of the fundamental principles to be able to work across multidisciplinary teams. At their core, an engineer is a creative and technically minded individual who can conceive ideas, design and implement them. They are pioneers and problem solvers, innovators and analysers. The five-year MEng Engineering (Study Abroad) is an excellent choice for those who want to experience engineering in its broader sense before choosing a specialism in Year 2.
Broaden your horizons
Enrich your university experience with a year overseas at one of our partner universities. In the Year 4, head out to start your adventure and immerse yourself in a different cultural and academic community. We’ll support you all the way!
What to expect
We introduce you to many of the key features of engineering, equipping you with a well-rounded understanding and skill set in areas such as design, programming, mechanics, electronic systems and instrumentation, manufacturing and material science. You’ll share the first year with all our School of Engineering students, regardless of their specialism, and you will gain an appreciation for the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. Not only that, you will already know other engineering students before you move into your specialism in Year 2.
Get ready to use teamwork, creativity and technical skills to design and build things that solve real-world problems. You’ll do it all in state-of-the-art facilities. We have two dedicated engineering buildings, which are brand new with lots of cool kit, maker spaces, labs and social spaces.
Take further steps towards professional engineering with management skills, project management, and industry engagement. Sustainability, safety, ethics and quality management are kept in focus too.
Choosing your specialism
We offer the following specialisms. Check out their course pages to find out what you will study in Year 2 and beyond.
- Chemical Engineering
- Electronic and Electrical Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Mechatronic Engineering
- Nuclear Engineering
Your 2nd and 4th years will include the study of a range of modules and group project work where you apply your skills and knowledge to real industry problems.
Master’s-level training
In your final year of study, you will gain a strong understanding of real-world engineering and hands-on experience in the profession through an industry-linked project, further building your confidence and preparing you for the workforce. You will also complete a comprehensive individual research project alongside specialist technical modules, allowing you to explore your interests and align them with your future career goals. This year will solidify your knowledge, placing you in an excellent position to launch your engineering career and progress toward achieving Chartered Engineer status.
Personal development
Whichever specialism you choose, you will develop valuable transferable skills that make you highly desirable to future employers. This includes working in collaboration, communication, and the ability to design and implement a system or device. You will grow practical skills in diagnosis and testing, system maintenance, digital proficiencies, and the ability to consider and maintain work safety practices in a range of environments.
We hope you find your year overseas personally enriching. Our students often tell us that they return feeling more confident, self-assured and with a broader perspective to take into job interviews.
