What is the difference between a BEng and a BSc?

Our BEng and BSc courses are both accredited. However, to reach CEng (Chartered Status) you will need to go on and do a Masters degree. An MEng is a four-year course that incorporates a BEng degree with a postgraduate year, giving you the ability to apply for CEng status at the end of your course.

What are the differences between our MEng courses?
Our MEng courses will have a lot of shared modules, but give you the opportunity to specialise in your preferred area as well as gain CEng status. If you aren’t sure what area you want to focus on, there's always the chance to switch courses when you join with us.
