Subject

General or integrated engineering

**Overview**
Engineering is the pursuit of solutions. Engineers are arguably the most significant shapers of the future and will define the next industrial revolution. Your curiosity will be encouraged and enriched from the day you start this course, so you’ll graduate from UEA with a wealth of experience and the intellectual flexibility to succeed.

Our mission is to guide you in the principles and theories of engineering, give you the confidence to work with clients alone or as part of a team, and equip you with all the soft skills needed to thrive throughout your course and future career.

The addition of a year in industry will put your studies into context and give you the opportunity to apply your skills in a constructive way. Your degree will develop your capacity as an engineer and as an employee, through a combination of academic study, skill building, and unparalleled connections with industry.

**About this Course**
The inclusion of a year in industry within your BEng degree will enhance your learning, giving you real-world engineering experience and a deeper insight into your chosen career.

Here at UEA, all our courses are enriched by our connections to local industry. This course will nurture your curiosity and give you the tools you need to pursue your preferred branch of engineering, preparing you for a rich career.

Each of our engineering courses follows an integrated programme structure for the first year. This gives you a broad insight into the incredible potential of engineering as a discipline. In your second year, you can tailor your course to your interests, keeping the broad-based approach or focusing more closely on Mechanical, Energy, or Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The range of expertise available to you will span UEA Schools like Environmental Sciences and Computing Sciences, so that your learning is limitless.

BEng Engineering with a Year in Industry is for those students who would like to immerse themselves in their chosen career field as an integral part of their studies. All of our BEng programmes include opportunities for site visits, internships and placements, but on this course, you’ll also spend your third year at work – gaining first-hand commercial awareness and experience in your chosen field and graduating one step ahead in your career.
