Course Overview

Engineers are innovators who bring about change through their ingenuity, experience, and curiosity to improve the quality of life for people worldwide. Their work is central to thriving economies and competitive industries. It is equally important in developing countries where engineers provide appropriate technologies during difficult times of change. Professional engineers have a high degree of specialist knowledge, but increasingly, they use a broad approach to problem-solving across various engineering disciplines. This is coupled with an awareness of the environmental, social, legal, economic, and regulatory aspects of the problem. Whether you study for the BEng or the MEng, your General Engineering degree will equip you for a career in modern industry and commerce where a broad understanding of the subject is paramount.
