About this course
BEng Hons in Engineering with Placement Year, an engineering degree exploring the fundamental principles of mechanical, chemical, and electrical systems. Core topics include Programming, Embedded Systems, Control Systems, and Mathematical Modelling. The course includes an industrial placement year in the third year, and allows students to choose a specific engineering specialism from the second year onward. The first year covers foundational concepts through compulsory modules such as Applied Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Science, Engineering Skills, Engineering Systems, Engineering Thermofluids, and Fundamental Engineering Mathematics. The second and final years involve specialised study within chosen subject pathways, culminating in a dissertation project. The third year consists of a professional placement in a graduate-level industry role, concluding with an extended reflective report.
