About this course
**Overview**
Engineering is the pursuit of solutions: solving complex global problems through innovation, imagination, and ingenuity. Engineers create, design, and manufacture, playing a crucial role in shaping the future of society.
At UEA, our engineering course will develop your capacity to tackle society’s biggest challenges. Our integrated programme allows you to gain a wide base of knowledge across engineering subjects during your first year. As a result, you’ll have access to an array of career pathways, alongside the option of further study. You’ll also have the chance to specialise in energy, mechanical, or electrical and electronic engineering from your second year.
Your first year modules will give you the knowledge, skills, and industrial connections to support your aspirations. Then, in year two, you can tailor your course to match your interests, selecting optional modules to broaden your knowledge. You can also take optional modules in Environmental Sciences or Computing Sciences to broaden your knowledge base and increase your employability skills.
As an engineering student, you’ll have full access to industry-standard facilities in Productivity East, including computer aided design (CAD) stations, 3D printers, subtractive manufacturing technology, and collaborative robots. You’ll also encounter events like our annual Select Partnership Scheme where you can showcase your skill set to industry professionals.
Upon graduation, you’ll be a skilled engineer with a wide range of personal, professional and employability skills. With the support of an award-winning careers service, UEA Engineering graduates are equipped for a wide range of rewarding careers in sectors like energy, mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering, manufacturing and more.

Modules
Year 1 is made up of compulsory modules which will provide you with a solid grounding in mathematics and engineering. These modules include Engineering Studies, Engineering Principles and Law and Mathematics for Scientists. As your studies progress you will develop a knowledge of general, Mechanical or Electronic and Electrical engineering. In Years 2 and 3, you will have a combination of compulsory modules - such as Analogue and Digital Electronics - and optional modules such as Vibration and Dynamics or Meteorology and Global Environmental Change. You will also complete an individual research project in your final year which you can base on your own engineering interests.

What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
As a mixed subject within engineering where students get a chance to learn from a range of disciplines, this course isn't taken by as many people as some of the more specialist disciplines. Demand for engineering skills is high, though, and so unemployment rates are low and the average starting salary was a very healthy £26,400 for 2015 graduates. Graduates are able to specialise enough to be working in jobs in engineering — especially in design and development - as well as engineering project management. IT and management consultancy were some of the more common jobs outside engineering. Bear in mind that a lot of courses are four years long, and lead to a MEng qualification — this is necessary if you want to become a Chartered Engineer.
What about your long term prospects?
Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.
