Engineering

Engineering teaches analytical skills, lateral thinking, and solution-orientated approaches to tackle real-world problems in imaginative new ways

Engineers use knowledge to find solutions. Mathematics is often the primary toolbox, but you will not just use tools to take something apart or fix it; you will employ them in imaginative new ways to solve problems you might not have encountered before. Studying Engineering equips you with detailed knowledge in specific areas, such as civil engineering, electrical engineering, or bioengineering, but it also develops analytical and problem-solving skills that are valued inside and outside of Engineering. The 4-year course qualifies you for both the BA and MEng degrees. It is also possible to graduate after three years with only the BA degree. More details about the course can be found on the .
