STUDY ENGINEERING IN THE UK

Across The Pond partners with some of the top UK universities for engineering, across a variety of disciplines. The UK has long been a major contributor to the innovation of engineering, and students who study in the UK benefit from intensive learning, opportunities to find placements at major engineering companies, and a concentration on both academic skill and employability.

BENEFITS OF STUDYING ENGINEERING IN THE UK

Shorter courses: Most Master’s programs are only one year long. Students can obtain a degree in a shorter amount of time compared to studying in Latin America. Funding from Latin American countries for these subjects is also available. Focus: UK universities do not require general education courses; students will be focusing on engineering from Day 1! Employment opportunities: Many universities in the UK focus on having staff that are active in their fields, helping to provide an employability perspective and to generate learning opportunities outside of the classroom. Furthermore, many engineering courses offer the opportunity to take on a placement, whether as an additional year on their degree or as a short-term opportunity during their degree. Either way, UK engineering students graduate with readiness to work. ... [-]

The M03 MEng is for graduates who already hold an accredited BEng (either an OU BEng or from another institution).

The M03 MEng is a 480-credit integrated masters degree that extends students' undergraduate studies to postgraduate level. As a progression from undergraduate to postgraduate study must effectively be uninterrupted, the regulations say that it has to be completed within four years of the student's first degree. So if your BEng was obtained more than 2 years ago you may be better considering studying for our Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering followed by our MSc in Engineering, which have no such time limits.

After completing your first degree, you would complete a further 120 credits (if you are an OU BEng graduate) or 135 credits at postgraduate level (if you are a non-OU BEng graduate). If you are a non-OU BEng graduate, you will need to complete the 15-credit module T398 Towards chartership: professional development for engineers. However, if you have or are shortly expecting to gain chartered engineer status, then you may apply for an exemption from the requirement to do T398.... [-]
