Engineers are in high demand around the world. Our technological society relies completely on engineering and the constant stream of new solutions that are developed by engineers.

An engineering degree is intellectually challenging and requires a good grasp of maths and physics; as a qualified engineer you will be expected to offer a wide range of skills and to be adaptable to the needs of your clients.

If you are uncertain which engineering route to follow, this general programme is designed for you. During the semester you will develop a greater understanding of the choices available. You will then be invited to transfer to one of the Mechanical Engineering of Electronic and Electrical Engineering courses.
