BEng Integrated Engineering
About this course
Integrated engineering is a broad-based engineering programme designed to give you solid foundations across multiple engineering disciplines before you specialise or move into a professional role. It reflects the reality that many of the most interesting engineering challenges do not respect disciplinary boundaries: designing a sustainable building requires structural, electrical, and environmental thinking; developing a medical device requires mechanical, electronic, and materials knowledge; managing an infrastructure project draws on civil, mechanical, and systems engineering together. The three-year full-time Integrated Engineering programme at the University of Plymouth is available with a foundation year for students who need additional preparation before entering degree-level study, and includes a sandwich year, year abroad, and work placement options for those who want to combine academic study with substantial professional experience. The sandwich year placement in particular offers valuable hands-on work experience and significantly enhanced employability, and the programme prepares students from the first year to explore placement opportunities and develop the skills needed to secure them. You will study engineering science, mechanics, materials, electronics, and design, building the quantitative and practical skills that engineering work demands, before developing specialised knowledge in the areas that interest you most. With a typical entry tariff of 104 points, the programme provides an inclusive pathway into engineering education that does not require students to commit to a narrow specialism at the outset. Graduates from integrated engineering programmes are prepared for roles across the engineering sectors, and many also pursue professional engineering qualifications or postgraduate study in a specific engineering discipline.
