📖Program Curriculum
We offer flexible degree programmes that enable you to experience a range of engineering disciplines before you decide to specialise
All first students study a general engineering programme which is much favoured by industry In the second you continue to study the same core modules as all other students until the end of term one after you which you can specialise in Manufacturing & Mechanical Engineering choose another specialism or continue on the general engineering pathway
Students can also switch from the three-year BEng to the four-year degree if academic requirements and regulations are met and from the to the BEng if they prefer to graduate earlier
Incoming students Please do not use the modules listed below in your ATAS application You will need to use the information provided to you by the Undergraduate Admissions Office Please contact them if you have any queries

We are planning to make some changes to this degree for 2024 entry Changes to core and optional modules go through the University's rigorous academic processes As changes are confirmed we will update the course information on this webpage It is therefore very important that you check this webpage for the latest information before you apply and prior to accepting an offer
Intercalated degrees
Students may choose to spend a in industry research or study abroad between two and three or between three and four for If you choose to take an intercalated this will be reflected in your degree title and add a to your degree programme
