Our General Engineering degree builds a strong foundation in the fundamentals of engineering, with a focus on areas key for addressing the challenges of the 21st century. Experimental and practical skills are developed in tandem with mathematical and analytical approaches with a strong emphasis on project-based design work from the outset of the degree. Systems thinking, sustainability, modelling and simulation, software and programming, and engineering design, management and entrepreneurship are strong themes that cross through technical modules establishing core scientific and engineering principles in electrical, mechanical, thermal and fluidic domains. In the later years of the degree a substantial individual project is undertaken. Women in STEM Scholarship The Faculty funds a scholarship for female undergraduate applicants, as part of its commitment to increasing the representation of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).

Key benefits

  • A unique blend of leading-edge engineering specialisms that provide a holistic perspective on engineering, directly applicable to a whole range of future focused careers.
  • Our course connects engineering expertise with that of King’s wider disciplines, such as business, entrepreneurship, sustainability and law, to unlock a better understanding of the commercial and social context of engineering.
  • Builds critical thinking and future workplace skills with collaborative project work from the first term.
  • Study in inspiring teaching spaces with state-of-the-art equipment.
  • In the third year of your degree, take specialist modules following from a two-year study of the core of Engineering.

This degree allows me to engage in a wide range of skills to study in multiple fields, which gives me a better idea of where I’d like to concentrate my efforts in in the future.
