Duration (years)

Deepen your knowledge and understanding of engineering and fast-track your journey to becoming a chartered engineer with our four-year MEng degree.

You’ll benefit from our connections with local industry right from the start of your course. You’ll get a taste of the many career paths engineering will open up to you, through mentors and role-models, site visits and short-term internships and placements. We actively encourage you to develop your networking abilities, learning to make the most of our industrial contacts. You’ll also have the option of participating in SELECT and UEA’s Engineering internship schemes to enhance your studies.  

About

Each of our engineering courses follows an integrated programme structure for the first year. This is designed to provide you with a broad insight into the incredible potential of engineering as a discipline. In your second year you can tailor your course to your interests, keeping the broad-based approach or focusing more closely on Mechanical, Electronic or Electrical engineering. You will have access to experience and resources from across UEA Schools such as Environmental Sciences, Computing Sciences and Mathematics, ensuring that your learning is limitless.

For your first three years you’ll follow the same programme as BEng Engineering. In your final year you will focus on a multidisciplinary design project. This major team-based project will mark the culmination of your study and will encourage you to explore the breadth of your learning in partnership with an industrial project. You’ll be given a real brief to work from, and you’ll be encouraged to undertake site visits so that you can develop proposals, which you’ll then present to professional engineers.

We produce pioneering graduates who are capable of supporting a changing industry through their intellectual flexibility. Our programmes promote the development of a new breed of highly versatile engineers, possessing the capacity to find solutions to society’s biggest challenges.

Important Information

Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the courses listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the regular review of course programmes. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes, there will normally be prior consultation of students and others. Changes may for example consist of variations to the content and method of delivery of programmes, courses and other services, to discontinue programmes, courses and other services and to merge or combine programmes or courses. The University will endeavour to keep such changes to a minimum, and will inform students.

Assessment for Year 1

Our assessment strategies are as varied as our teaching. We're aware that you might prefer to demonstrate your learning in different ways, so our methods of assessment are designed to give you opportunities to shine through a variety of methods. Types of assessment include written work, poster presentations, illustrative sketches and traditional examinations.

Structure

In your first year you’ll take on small design projects and gain a grounding in engineering mathematics and principles, supported by an introduction to many of the broader considerations of engineers. Engineering Principles and Analysis will allow you to study a number of more focused engineering disciplines. Introductions to mechanical, electronic and electrical and energy engineering are delivered through active learning involving experimentation.

After these introductions you’ll be given the flexibility to change your degree path based on what you’ve learnt. You can choose your preferred path at any point before the start of your second year or, with appropriate module choices, further delay the decision until the end of second year.

Teaching and Learning

Your Engineering degree course will combine lectures, workshops and tutorials. You’ll be asked to apply the knowledge you’ve gained to a research problem or a series of questions, or to solve a design problem. This application of knowledge will enable you to gain a deeper understanding of the material and help you to retain what you have learnt.

Throughout your studies you will develop skill sets in line with the guidance provided by the Engineering Council. That means you’ll graduate with the capabilities you need to get your career off to a flying start, including being an effective communicator, digitally literate, and capable of dealing with complex problems where you have insufficient data.

You’ll develop your communication skills through written reports, oral presentations and workshop discussions. And workshops will also give you time to develop digital skillsets in computer analysis and design.

What’s more, we’ll provide you with multiple opportunities to connect with industry, giving you the opportunity to develop your networking abilities and make professional contacts.

By combining excellence in teaching with industrial connections, we aim to secure your success as you progress through your programme and beyond.

Independent study

Independent study will be guided by the requirements of your research projects, design work and problem-solving exercises. You can expect to explore your module content widely, through which you’ll develop the independent learning skills so highly valued by employers. This will culminate in the development and presentation of your final year multi-disciplinary or industry-linked project.
