BEng or MEng?

You can study this course as a 3-year Bachelor's degree (BEng) or a 4-year integrated Master's degree (MEng).

When you finish the BEng course successfully, you'll meet the educational requirements for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status. Once you've met the work experience requirements for IEng status, you can progress to Chartered Engineer status (CEng) with further study and experience.

The MEng allows you to achieve a Master’s degree with just one extra year of undergraduate study. When you finish the MEng course successfully, you'll meet the educational requirements for Chartered Engineer status (CEng).

IEng and CEng status demonstrate your expertise and can include benefits such as improved career prospects and earning potential.

Course highlights

• Use the latest equipment for analysing and measuring electronics, including logic analysers, spectrum analysers, digital scopes and multi-function generators.
• Work with analogue and digital components such as microprocessors, microcontrollers and programmable devices.
• Use experimental kits, such as ServoSET servo-mechanism (which helps you learn how to stabilise systems) and superheterodyne radio receivers (which help you understand the principles of radio receiver operation).
• Get student membership of the Institute of Engineering and Technology at no cost to you – giving you access to practical, technical and career-related resources and opportunities to build links with prospective employers.
• Work on a multidisciplinary group project to get the practical experience sought by employers when you choose the 4-year MEng option.

Accreditation

This course is accredited by the Accreditation of European Engineering Programmes (EUR-ACE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). The MEng meets the academic requirement for registration as CEng (Chartered Engineer), while the BEng partially meets these requirements.
