MEng Engineering Mathematics with a Year in Industry
About this course
MEng in Engineering Mathematics with a Year in Industry, a mathematics degree focused on mathematical and data modelling across engineering applications. The programme includes a compulsory third-year industry placement where students complete an assignment based on applied knowledge. In the final year, students undertake an individual research project, and the curriculum incorporates collaborative industrial case studies in the fourth year. The course structure spans five years, integrating mathematical analysis, computing, and general engineering foundations during the initial two years. Following the industrial placement year, students select from specialised options in engineering, mathematics, data science, and intelligent and robotic systems. The final two years emphasize real-world problem-solving through external collaborations and independent investigation.
