Engineering Bangor University

Overview

The broad multidisciplinary curriculum of this Engineering degree offered by  Bangor University prepares you to be a well-rounded professional engineer at the forefront of high-tech industry, in both technical and managerial roles.

Combining knowledge across traditional and modern engineering, electronic engineering and computer science, you’ll be able to create innovative solutions appropriate to a wide range of careers. These range from mechatronics, robotics, data science, low carbon energy, automotive and aerospace engineering to materials science and mechanical engineering.

With opportunities to collaborate on projects, you'll join a research-led teaching environment with academics at the forefront of digital signal processing and 5G technology, future energy systems and materials technologies.

Careers

The highly practical nature of our MEng – with its focus on project work and collaboration with our research – lets you experience what it’s like to be part of a professional engineering team. The skills, knowledge and behaviours you develop can be immediately applied in the workplace.

In particular, your knowledge of next-generation sustainable technologies places you in an ideal position to capitalise on the growing demand for ‘green engineering’. According to Engineering UK, vacancies for these roles have increased by more than half (55%) in the UK over the last five years.

On graduation, you’ll be able to pursue a variety of different career paths: aerospace and aeronautical engineering; civil and structural; communications, electrical and electronic; marine; materials; mechanical; production and manufacturing; and software engineering and computing.

In addition to your subject specific knowledge, you’ll benefit from a wide range of transferable skills, such as critical thinking, data analysis, problem solving, teamwork, presentation, project planning and management. This enables you to reach a wider range of employers, including the civil service, local and national government, education, the armed forces or financial sector.
