Undergraduate Degrees

Petroleum Engineering

BEng, Single Honours

Petroleum engineering is concerned with the design and development of front-end engineering technologies required in the exploration and extraction of oil and gas reservoirs.

While oil and gas will continue to play an important role in meeting our energy needs for years to come, the knowledge and skills you will acquire as a petroleum engineer are also in high demand in the renewable energy sector, for example in geothermal energy and carbon capture and storage.

Mechanical Engineering

MEng, Single Honours

Mechanical engineering combines principles from mathematics and physics with creativity, problem-solving and teamwork skills to design, manufacture, operate and maintain physical machines and systems.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering

MEng, Single Honours

Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) is fundamental to modern society, encompassing everything from advanced computer systems and digital circuits to photonics and cutting-edge technologies like automated cars, robotics, medical equipment, and the next generation of mobile data transmission.

Engineering (Civil)

BEng, Single Honours

Civil Engineering is all about the environment and infrastructure that makes up the modern world. Civil Engineers design, build and maintain our roads, railways, airports, dams, industrial facilities, power stations, coastal protection and harbour works, hospitals, sports stadiums and much more.

If you are interested in making lasting, positive improvements to society, in sustainable design for the protection of the natural environment on land or at sea, in improving the quality of life for millions of people using novel building techniques and materials, then civil engineering is an excellent choice.

Engineering (Civil and Structural)

BEng, Single Honours

Structural Engineering is generally recognised as a specialist area of Civil Engineering but the two areas are very similar. This is a perfect degree programme for those looking to succeed in this field as it offers up our hugely successful standard Civil Engineering degree but introduces a number of key areas of specialism.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Robotics

MEng, Single Honours

Robotics engineers design, build and develop machines and systems for sectors as diverse as manufacturing, energy, aerospace, transport and healthcare. This programme combines electrical and electronic engineering with robotics and artificial intelligence to equip you with the knowledge and skills for a career in the booming robotics and automation sector.

Engineering (Civil and Environmental)

BEng, Single Honours

Civil and Environmental Engineering is a hugely relevant degree for today. The environment is a major consideration for local, national and international companies and governments, but never more is this true than when it comes to engineering projects of all sizes. Greater consideration has to be given to a range of environmental factors and this degree will go some way to making students aware of them.
