Location
This course follows the structure of our MEng Engineering Mathematics degree but gives you the opportunity to spend your third year abroad, typically at an English-speaking university. You can transfer onto this course up until your second year.
The first two years of this course provide a background in mathematical analysis, computing and general engineering, within the overall context of mathematical and data modelling. These skills will form the basis of the later years of study.
A key strand throughout the curriculum is real-world problem solving, spanning many different application areas from robotics and social media to medicine and environmental modelling. Working on these case studies, using theory and techniques from across your studies, you will hone your skills in mathematical and data modelling as well as professional teamworking and communication skills.
You will spend your third year overseas at one of our partner universities. To find out more about studying abroad, visit Global Opportunities.
In your final year, back in Bristol, you can choose from a wide range of specialist options from across engineering, mathematics, data science and intelligent and robotic systems, to fit your interests and what you learned during your year abroad. You will be taught by some of the leaders of research in these topics.
A highlight of the degree is your individual final-year project - a chance to contribute to the cutting edge of research into a topic of interest to the wider stakeholders of our degree. This highly creative, challenging, yet enjoyable experience provides excellent preparation for your future career.
This course is accredited by the following organisations
The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
