Your degree
The industry focus of this degree is distinctive because we integrate commercial partners into every stage of your learning. Our unique model of working on real-world challenges brings you into contact with employers of varying sizes and from a multitude of sectors including security, health, energy, sustainability, food production and infrastructure, working on projects that enhance their business.
Your learning will take place in partnership with industry, guaranteeing that it’s not only up to date, but reflects a real engineering environment. Your interaction with many partners will allow you to build an extensive network and demonstrate your engineering ability to a wide range of future employers.
Your career
This degree will equip you with the expertise and experience to make a real impact in a broad range of engineering sectors, including energy, utilities, defence, transport, manufacturing, consulting and SMEs.
As a graduate, you’ll demonstrate the outcomes required by the Engineering Council's latest accreditation framework. This means you can apply for CEng (Chartered Engineering status when you graduate, boosting your employability.
Graduates will be prepared for a range of roles, including quality/compliance engineer, design/R&D engineer, technology consulting engineer, and manufacturing/automation engineer. Graduating with a MEng (Hons) in Integrated Engineering can also allow you to progress onto further study, such as a specialised MSc or PhD.
An MEng degree provides the most direct way of meeting the educational requirements for successive registration as a Chartered Engineer (subject to accreditation), and graduates typically command higher starting salaries than those with the equivalent BEng.
Did you know?
The average salary for a graduate engineer in the UK is pretty impressive, currently sitting at £34,128 per year (Glassdoor, 2023). MEng graduates typically command higher salaries than BEng graduates.
We welcome applications from students from all backgrounds.

Optional Foundation Year
If you didn’t get the A-level results you were hoping for, are thinking of a change in career, or if you did not follow traditional routes into higher education, then starting your studies with a foundation year may be the right choice for you. You'll develop the key transferable skills and subject-specific knowledge needed to continue into the full BEng degree.
Level 4
You'll be introduced to the fundamentals of engineering through challenge-based learning, beginning your journey with an orientation into the engineering profession and practice. You'll work in teams to analyse standard problems in a multi - and interdisciplinary way. You'll undertake focused activities to evaluate, interpret and present data in a clear and compelling way.
Throughout the year you'll develop independent learning and team-building skills, with an emphasis on project management and communication (including rhetoric, effective writing, and deep and critical reading). Industry-focused communication assessment methods are included in those modules that have been created to instigate the development of the behavioural practices of an industry-ready graduate (the future you!)
Level 5
During this year you’ll develop more extensive knowledge and understanding of the core areas of engineering with, where appropriate, support in mathematics and sciences (we'll get you up to speed with exactly what you need to know).
You'll begin Level 5 with a synoptic challenge that provides an opportunity to understand engineering in a social/community context, and to draw across all engineering learning from Level 4 to create value in that context.
Level 6
By the end of Level 6 you can expect to be self-motivated, efficient and organised in independent learning. Level 6 begins with a closer examination of formal project management approaches (People and Projects in Engineering), moves through two integrative engineering projects (Data-driven Engineering and Manufacturing as Integrated Engineering) before concluding with an individual project.
Assessment methods at this stage are designed to include a combination of both academic and industrially focused formats. Focus will be given to assessing the development and attainment of the knowledge and understanding necessary to apply technology to engineering problems and processes, and to maintain and manage current technology (essentially we teach you the what, why and how!)
Finally, you'll be required to undertake an individual Bachelor’s Engineering Project where you'll develop technical and professional skills.
Level 7
Level 7 consists of two modules that have been designed to extend your integrated engineering outlook to full lifecycle concerns (Lifecycle Performance of Engineering Infrastructure), and develop key mindsets of Research and Modelling.
Following this, you'll undertake an individual Master’s Engineering Project. You'll develop enhanced technical and professional skills, and specialist knowledge. You'll also be required to record and reflect on your accumulating experiences for later use in professional recognition.
Assessments at Level 7 are designed to assess engineering capability and industry readiness, and therefore adopt mechanisms which assess ability in application (learn it, apply it!)
Assessment methods include a combination of both academic and industrially focused formats. Including academic reports such as literature reviews, laboratory and experimental write-ups and project reports. Industry relevant assessment includes formats such as industry-based test report, design review presentation, and technical communication. Assessments provide a demonstration of the greater range and depth of specialist knowledge at Level 7, within a research and industrial environment, as well as a broader and more general academic base.
The foundation for leadership and a wider appreciation of the economic, legal, social, ethical, and environmental context of engineering are also included - setting you up for success following graduation.
