The General Engineering programme is designed to give you the flexibility to explore the various disciplines before choosing your specialist field. Engineering is a diverse subject area, touching on nearly every aspect of our modern lives. Engineers make contributions to the water we drink, the food we eat, the design of our homes and the efficiency of transportation. Birmingham engineering graduates are creative, highly-skilled problem solvers with a solid understanding of how they, and other engineering disciplines, can directly improve the world around them. Preparation for your career should be one of the first things you think about as you start university. Whether you have a clear idea of where your future aspirations lie or want to consider the broad range of opportunities available once you have a Birmingham degree, our Careers Network can help you achieve your goal. The graduate employment market is competitive, many employers require evidence of employability or being ready for the world of work. Internships represent a great way for you to gain experience of the workplace. They also offer employers the opportunity of clarifying what they are looking for and perhaps even assessing interns for future employment. We offer our students the opportunity of internship placements during their time at Birmingham.
