Overview

From 2018/19 students enter First Year Engineering and complete a common programme of study. In Second Year students enter separate programmes leading to degrees in Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Energy Engineering and Process and Chemical Engineering.

Note: Students who entered Third Year of the BE (Hons) prior to 2018/19 will continue to Fourth Year of the BE (Hons). Students entering Third Year from 2018/19 may at the end of Third Year register for the BE (Hons) / ME Pathway. Students who choose not /are not eligible to register for the BE (Hons) / ME Pathway will continue to Fourth Year of the BE (Hons).

First Year - Engineering

To be admitted to the First University Examination in Engineering, a student must have satisfactorily attended, subsequent to admission to the programme, prescribed modules to the value of 60 credits.

Entry to Second Year

On successful completion of First Year - Engineering (CK600) students enter Second Engineering and proceed to a BE (Hons) Degree in one of: Civil, Structural and Environmental; Electrical and Electronic; Energy; or Process and Chemical.

Admission to the various degree programmes in Second Engineering is subject to Capacity Limitation. In filling places, preference will be given to those students passing the First University Examination in Engineering at the Summer Examination in the first year of registration for the First University Examination in Engineering, in order of merit of the overall aggregate mark for the year. Remaining places will be filled in order of merit, without distinction as to when the examination was completed.   Where possible, students will progress to their first choice of Engineering discipline in second year. Otherwise, students will be guaranteed entry into their second choice.
