The Master of Engineering degree is a four-year first degree that delivers the breadth and depth that you will need in the world of engineering. It is designed to produce graduates who will go on and lead engineering teams. Your first two years offer you a broad-based engineering education. You are then able to specialise in your third and fourth years. The programme is mainly delivered through a mixture of lectures, problem classes, practical and design activities. Typically lectures provide key information on a particular field of study, and identify the main underpinning engineering concepts in that area. The balance of these types of activities changes over the course of the programme, as students develop their knowledge and the ability as independent learners that is one of the key attributes that the programme develops in its students (thereby preparing them for work or further study once they have completed the programme).
