About this course
Engineering is the discipline through which scientific understanding is turned into things that work: structures that stand, systems that communicate, machines that move, and technologies that transform daily life. It is a field defined by problem-solving at every scale, from the microscopic to the infrastructural, and by the responsibility that comes with designing things on which others depend. Engineers need mathematical rigour, physical intuition, creativity, and the ability to collaborate across specialisms. At Queen Mary University of London, this four-year full-time programme invites students who are curious about how things work and motivated to design solutions for the future. You will develop strong foundations in mathematics, physics, and computational methods before moving into more specialist engineering territory. The programme is designed for students who want both analytical depth and the freedom to engage with creative problem-solving, and the curriculum develops your ability to move between theoretical models and practical design challenges. You will work in teams on real engineering problems, building the collaborative instincts and communication skills that professional engineers use every day. London's position as a hub for technology, construction, infrastructure, and innovation means the city itself is part of the learning environment. With a typical entry tariff of 136 UCAS points, this degree attracts students with strong mathematical and scientific backgrounds who are ready to apply that knowledge in practical and creative ways. Engineering graduates are among the most employable in any cohort, with routes into civil, mechanical, electrical, electronic, software, and materials engineering, as well as management roles in infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, and technology. The analytical skills developed on an engineering degree are also valued in finance, consultancy, and policy. Many graduates continue to postgraduate study or pursue Chartered Engineer status through relevant professional bodies.
