The BEng and MEng degree programmes have common first and second years, with all students following the same course of study. At the end of your second year you can choose to continue for either a three-year BEng degree or four-year MEng degree, depending on exam performance.
Both the BEng or MEng option will provide you with the same core skills but by choosing to study for the MEng you will undertake a more substantial project with greater opportunity for specialisation and experience of research methods. We strongly recommend this MEng route if you wish to pursue an engineering career.
The large range of optional modules in your third year and, if studying the MEng, fourth year also allows you to follow specific themes and to develop areas of expertise and interest.
Our Foundation courses give you another way to study for an undergraduate degree.

The Foundation in Engineering is a 1+3 year programme that results in direct progression to the undergraduate degrees offered within the Faculty of Engineering. Modules on the programme aim to improve language and study skills as well as enhance understanding of mathematics and the physical sciences.
Students on this programme also chose from a range of elective modules that provide the opportunity to sample topics related to their chosen undergraduate pathway from thermal science or chemistry to electricity and magnetism.

We aim to prepare you for an exciting career, and when you graduate you will be an independent professional highly sought after by employers. As a graduate of one of the best mechanical engineering departments in the world, your Nottingham qualification will give you the freedom to choose from a range of exciting opportunities.
Graduates of both of our courses become mechanical, sales, design or maintenance engineers in a range of sectors. These include power generation, civil structure, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, chemical, computers, marine, bioengineering and paper. Those choosing the MEng route can also become project managers.
