Where could a degree in Engineering take you?

As the site of Britain’s ‘Energy Estuary’, the Humber is a hotbed of career opportunities – it’s home to 350+ engineering and process companies. So you’ll be in a prime spot to access a range of career paths across multiple industries.

Our graduates have gone on to find work with organisations such as Smith & Nephew (who are based near Hull), BAE Systems, British Energy, Johnson & Johnson, the Royal Navy, Williams F1 and Rolls-Royce.

Take a look at the facilities you’ll be using

Mechanical engineering workshops, manufacturing spaces, robotics labs. We've got them all on campus and plenty more. We've even got our very own Formula 1 simulator where our Hull Electric Racing Team hone their engineering and driving skills in virtual races against other universities from around the UK.

Swift Additive Manufacturing Space

It's a communal space where engineering students can get hands-on with the latest teach such as 3D printers, laser scanners and CNC machines.

Take a look

HERT simulator

This £100,000 piece of tech allows the Hull Electric Racing Team to pit their wits against rival universities in the ultimate battle of engineering and driving talent. Built by UK-company Axsim, the simulator uses technology developed to help train fighter pilots to create the sensation of G-Force experienced by F1 drivers.

Watch our simulator in action

Mechanics Workshop

You’ll have access to a Mechanical Engineering workshop and industry-level software, such as MatLab, Solidworks and ANSYS.

Medical Engineering Lab

Use medical tech (e.g. endoscopy and ultrasound), test medical devices (prosthetics and orthotics), and take physiological measurements (EMG, ECG).

Our job is to get you ready for yours

All our undergraduate Engineering courses have the option of an Industrial placement year. It’s a great opportunity to apply your knowledge to the workplace, and make yourself more employable after you graduate.

Past students have secured placements with some of the biggest names in the technology, manufacturing and automotive industries, including BP, Siemens, Microsoft, Airbus, Virgin Media, Howdens, BMW Group, Xerox, Smith & Nephew, and IBM.

FOUNDATION YEAR

Think you’re not ready or right for uni? Think again…

If you don’t meet our entry requirements, you could still join us on a foundation year. A foundation year is an extra year at the start of your degree, designed to boost your academic skills and subject knowledge.

It’s available on all of our BEng engineering degrees. And the good news is, you can still do a placement year and integrated Masters if you join us on a foundation year.

Engineer your career with an integrated Masters

All our engineering courses include an integrated Masters option to continue your studies into a fourth year.

By studying for a Masters, you'll extend the depth and breadth of your engineering knowledge, and graduate with an MEng qualification.

Our MEng degrees also give you the mandatory four years of study that you need for accreditation as a Chartered Engineer, which opens even more doors to future employment and research opportunities.
