Overview
The common engineering honours entry scheme is a one-year programme for students interested in engineering as a career, but who may be unsure of which discipline to follow.
The scheme gives students the opportunity to see all five engineering disciplines first hand. Through the various modules on offer, interaction with the lecturers and site visits will assist the student to decide which discipline suits them best.
On successful completion of year 1, students can enter the second year programme of their choice from any of the following honours engineering degrees:
- MT 831 BEng (Hons) in Structural Engineering
- MT 836 BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering
- MT 837 BEng (Hons) in Sustainable Energy Engineering
- MT 838 BEng (Hons) in Chemical and Biopharmaceutical Engineering
- MT 839 BEng (Hons) in Biomedical Engineering
