UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2024 ENTRY THE FACULTY OF ENGINEERING We are Scotland’s largest Engineering Faculty with more than 4,000 undergraduate students from across the globe choosing to study with us each year. With more than 40 courses to choose from in our eight departments, our flexible approach to study allows you to take classes from across the University, equipping you with the potential and skills to reach the highest levels in industry. We offer four-year BEng (Honours) and BSc (Honours) courses and five-year MEng (Master of Engineering) and MSci (Master of Science) courses. The first three years of the MEng courses usually match the Honours curriculum but the final two years involve advanced study and may include classes in areas such as law, business, leadership and management. Project work is also strongly emphasised. The MEng and MSci degrees fulfil all of the educational requirements for Chartered Engineer status without further study after graduation. With an expansive scholarship portfolio that benefits a large number of our students, our industry partners can offer you the opportunity to apply for scholarships and internships, which will enable you to get hands-on experience during your studies. Our close connections with industry ensure that our degrees remain relevant to employers and that students have the opportunity to work on projects assigned by companies that address real industrial challenges. Equipped with industry relevant skills, our graduates are in demand world-wide from employers. Our impressive multimillion-pound investments in engineering facilities give students access to state-of-the-art equipment and work spaces in which to study. Each year, many of our students spend a semester or an academic year abroad studying at a university in locations such as Europe, North America, Australia and Japan. 22
