This accredited three-year course will help you develop your capacity to answer society’s biggest questions and provide you with the tools for integrated learning.

Engineering is the pursuit of solutions. Engineers are arguably the most significant shapers of society, poised to lead the innovations of the digital revolution. Studying at UEA will bring the opportunities of this new industrial phase to your learning experiences. You’ll graduate as a digital change-agent, spanning the boundaries between disciplines and capable of supporting engineering industries to respond to societal challenges.

Society needs engineers who understand a variety of engineering disciplines; students with general engineering degrees therefore have access to an array of key roles in industry. Alternatively, you’ll have the opportunity to experience several engineering disciplines before choosing to specialise in Energy, Mechanical, or Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

This course offers the first steps to your development as a professional engineer, combining all the learning experiences and opportunities for industrial connection that will support your aspirations.

UEA Engineering courses follow an integrated programme structure for the first year. This broadens your insight into the wealth of opportunities available to you as a student of engineering, as you forge your own career pathway. In your second year, you can tailor your course to pursue the areas of study that interest you most, through the selection of your optional modules. As a general engineer, you’ll choose from a catalogue of modules spanning the Schools of Engineering, Environmental Sciences and Computing Sciences, ensuring that your learning opportunities support your ambitions. From the very first weeks of your course, we will facilitate connections between our students and industrial partners, allowing you to showcase your potential and build your own network of professional contacts. These opportunities are built into our programme philosophy, both within the teaching & learning delivery and through extra-curricular opportunities. You’ll also encounter a varied range of professional role models, site visits, and experiences, helping you explore the many potential career paths you might choose to follow.

This course is ideal for aspiring engineers who are committed to studying for three years – with the option to extend your learning.
