Studying With Us

Study Routes – BEng or MEng

Choose between a three-year BEng (Bachelor of Engineering) or a four-year MEng (Master of Engineering), depending on your career goals and interest in further specialisation. The BEng mirrors the first three years of the MEng, while the MEng is an integrated master’s degree offering an additional year of advanced study and representing the highest undergraduate engineering qualification in the UK.
