Engineering
Engineering has many branches: mechanical, civil, electrical and others. The branch matters more than the general label. Professional accreditation, where it exists, is checked on the course. It is not assumed.
These are study areas to explore, not programmes we provide and not confirmation that a university has places.
What you may study
- Core technical principles, by branch
- Design and testing
- Applied mathematics
- Project work
Skills you may develop
- Structured problem solving
- Working with specifications
- Explaining a solution
- Safety and rigour
Possible career directions
- Early-career technical roles
- Design or testing
- Technical coordination, with experience
- Progression towards professional registration, if you pursue it
The directions above are examples, not promised jobs and not salaries.
Who may find this interesting
It may suit you if you like understanding how something is made and making it work better.
Typical entry considerations
Many courses look at mathematics or technical subjects. A preparatory year exists at some universities for people without that base. It is not offered everywhere.
Exact entry requirements vary between universities and programmes.
