There are a range of degree courses available to undergraduates, giving students the opportunity to specialise in a certain engineering discipline.

BEng with Foundation Year

This four-year course starts with the Foundation Year, which helps students build their engineering skills and knowledge while preparing themselves for a particular engineering degree.

At the end of the Foundation Year, students will continue with their selected BEng (Bachelor of Engineering) course and be on track to become an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).

BEng

The three-year Bachelor of Engineering courses will unlock the individuals full potential as a creative problem solver. The learning and teaching takes a hands-on approach for typically 50% of the course, so students can become work engineers by the time they graduate.

On completion of the BEng (Bachelor of Engineering), students will be on track to become Incorporated Engineers (IEng).

MEng

The four-year Master of Engineering courses will advance students engineering talents further and develop their leadership and management skills.
