Course content You follow the relevant BEng course for the first two years of the course. The last two years of the course cover extended studies in your chosen engineering discipline, as well as further design studies, an extended project and studies of the management problems encountered in engineering. One of the key features of all the MEng courses is the multidisciplinary design project. For example current students are working to make a country estate into an energy island that is self sufficient in using renewable resources only. Another project involves designing a fast ferry to operate from central London to the continent.
Field trips are a key feature of such courses.
The course combines lectures, laboratories and tutorial classes. During the first year an engineering applications programme includes workshop experience and design tasks. The final degree award is based on performance in the second, third and final years. Approximately 50 per cent of the marks each year are obtained from continuously assessed coursework. Course pattern You can study for an MEng full time for four years or five years including a year in industrial placement.
