If you are unsure about which engineering discipline you are most interested in, you can apply to our general engineering choice (entry code: H100). This option allows you to defer your choice of discipline to the start of the second semester.
This programme does not lead to a general engineering degree. Instead, at the start of Year 2, you will join one of the following degree programmes:
* BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Chemical Engineering
* BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Civil Engineering
* BEng(Hons)/MEng(Hons) Electronics and Electrical E...
