Course Overview

The world is changing rapidly, and many societies across the globe are facing multiple complex challenges including changing climates, increasing populations and resource depletion. Engineers are the skilled problem solvers who can develop the products and systems to meet the evolving needs of future generations.

Ongoing advances in computing power and the increasing use of integrated systems that link mechanical, electrical and other engineering systems together is creating new industrial sectors that cut across the boundaries of traditional engineering programmes.

Our BEng Engineering degree offers students a broad education in fundamental engineering techniques with the opportunity for specialisation, offering a high degree of flexibility in choosing an exciting career path within a range of both traditional and emerging engineering sectors. Recognising that technical skill is only one part of the new engineer's toolkit, this degree will help graduates to navigate both technical innovation and organisational change.

The course aims to encourage graduates to become ethical engineers who understand their impact on the world and its impact on them. With the UK economy already in transition to zero net Carbon by 2050, companies need graduates need to understand their responsibility in managing the three pillars of sustainability (society, environment and economy). To help achieve this, we have a core global sustainability and management thread, drawing from expertise in other Colleges and our strategic partner Texas A&M University.

Why Engineering at Swansea?

  • All of our Engineering subjects are ranked in the UK's Top 25 by The Times University Guide 2021
  • We're ranked 10th in the UK (REF 2014) for the combined score in research quality across the Engineering disciplines
  • 97% of our graduates are in work or further study 6 months after graduating (16/17 Graduate DLHE)

This course offers the opportunity for a Foundation Year, a Year in Industry or a Year Abroad.

If you do not have the required subjects or grades to enrol on BEng Engineering, you can apply for our BEng Engineering with a Foundation Year. On completion of your Foundation Year, you can progress onto BEng Engineering.

Your Engineering Experience

  • You will learn about emerging industries such as robotics, automation and additive manufacturing
  • Learn about the impact of engineering on society
  • Explore creative design
  • Hands-on experience in engineering design
  • Learn about managing in a digital world
  • Work collaboratively with industry partners and students from Texas A&M on global engineering design
  • Go deeper into a chosen subject with the option to specialise in Manufacturing or Engineering Management

Engineering Employment Opportunities

How You're Taught

Teaching during Covid19

This course will be taught in a 'blended' way. This means that some teaching will be done online and some will be on campus. The online teaching, where you will be physically apart from your lecturer, can be 'live' with your lecturer present and where you’ll be able to interact. Some of it may be self-directed which means that you can access the learning materials at a time to suit you.

This course offers some modules taught through the medium of Welsh or bilingually for students who consider themselves to be fluent Welsh speakers. For more details on the provision available see the Welsh Provision expander below.

Welsh Provision

Some provision

There are opportunities for Welsh speakers to study some elements of this course through the medium of Welsh but there is not yet enough provision to reach 40 credits in each year.

Academi Hywel Teifi is here to support you throughout your time at Swansea University. We can offer you:

  • Access to generous Welsh-language study scholarships or bursaries.
  • Access to modules taught wholly or partly in Welsh.
  • Access to the Arwain mobile app for the latest information about Welsh-medium courses and modules available to download free on the App Store and Google Play.
  • An interview through the medium of Welsh when applying for a place.
  • The option to receive your personal correspondence in Welsh, English or bilingually.
  • The option to write and submit your coursework or exams through the medium of Welsh (even if you have chosen to study in English), and your work will be marked in Welsh.
  • A Welsh-speaking Academic Mentor.
  • One-to-one support to improve your academic Welsh language skills.
  • An opportunity to gain an additional free qualification that serves as evidence of your Welsh language ability for future employers.
  • Opportunity to be a member of the Swansea University Branch of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol.

Visit the Welsh Language Rights webpage for further information about Students' rights to use the Welsh Language.

Continuing to study through the medium of Welsh once you leave school or college is a natural step for you and a way of ensuring your chances of getting the best education. The smaller class sizes will provide you with a great opportunity for support. It will also be a valuable addition to your CV and career development. Opportunities are available for students who are fluent and confident in the language as well as for those who are less confident or who are learners. It is also possible to choose Welsh-medium seminar and tutorial classes for modules taught primarily through the medium of English.

Professional Body Accreditation

As this is a new programme, it is not yet accredited. We are already working hard to seek accreditation and will keep all students up to date with the progress. Backdated accreditation will be requested to cover this intake.

Meet Your Lecturers

The following academic staff will be teaching on your degree:

  • Timothy Davies
  • Eifion Jewell
  • Patricia Xavier
  • Mike Clee
  • Andrew Tappenden
  • Christopher Jobling
  • Natalie Wint
  • Gareth Davies (from Management)

Providing the best student experience possible is of the utmost importance to us at the College of Engineering, and we have well-established systems and support staff in place in order to facilitate this. We have regular Maths, Chemistry and Software Cafes for students to develop their skills within these areas. Find out more about the student support we offer here.

Study Abroad and Global Opportunities

To learn more about study abroad, visit our Go Global webpages. Enrolment on a programme with a semester/year abroad does not guarantee you a semester/year abroad placement. Spaces are limited and subject to a competitive selection process. In the event you do not secure a semester/year abroad placement, you will be transferred to the standard variant of your degree scheme without a semester or year abroad.

International summer programmes are open to students from all colleges. Programmes typically range from 2 to 6 weeks, across destinations such as China, Zambia, South Korea, Japan, Canada and across Europe. For more information about programmes and eligibility visit our Summer Abroad webpages.
