What is the difference between BEng and MEng

The MEng is a four year integrated Master’s degree developed to fast-track our graduates to become Chartered Engineers with the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, Institution of Highways Engineers and the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation.

Chartered Engineers (CEng) are the leaders of our industry and develop solutions to engineering problems using new or existing technologies, through innovation, creativity and change. They take responsibility for complex systems with significant levels of risk.

The MEng degree is recognised throughout the UK and satisfies the Engineering Council’s academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Alternatively, many of our students take the three year BEng degree and then carry on to do a specialist Master’s degree, thus taking a different route towards chartered status.

We have the following courses:

Civil Engineering MEng (Hons)
Civil Engineering BEng (Hons)
Civil and Structural Engineering MEng (Hons)
Architectural Engineering MEng (Hons)
Architectural Engineering BEng (Hons)
