What will I learn?

Engineering is a broad subject, encompassing many different activities across various fields of human endeavour. While engineers work in many different industries, from aerospace and automotive to energy and medicine, all engineers use creativity to design solutions to the problems we face in the world today.**Our Interdisciplinary Approach**Professional engineers in today's world are required to work with colleagues from a range of engineering disciplines. All engineering students at the University of Aberdeen undertake studies from electrical and electronic, civil, chemical, mechanical and petroleum engineering during their first two years.This ensures our graduates are experienced and knowledgeable about the various skills and challenges each discipline would face, making them excellent choices for any engineering team.This approach also gives students flexibility in their degree - rather than being locked into a specific programme when applying, our students can choose the path that they prefer once they have experienced all five disciplines.- Chemical Engineering- Civil Engineering- Electrical and Electronic Engineering- Mechanical Engineering- Petroleum EngineeringThe four-year BEng Engineering honours (H100) and five year MEng Engineering honours (H104) programmes are therefore ideally suited to students who are not sure which branch of engineering they wish to specialise in at the time of applying. If however you already know what area you wish to study, you can apply directly to that programme.**You must transfer to one of the other specialist programmes, which will be dependent on the optional courses that you take, before or at the commencement of the third year of the programme.**The four year BEng Engineering Honours programme and the five year MEng Engineering Honours programme are both fully accredited by the Engineering Institutions (see Professional Accreditation section).

Entry requirements

For international students

SQA Highers Standard: Applicants that present with BBBB will usually receive an unconditional offer. Where we have more applicants than places we may need to ask for more than the minimum so continued engagement in school is recommended. Highers in Mathematics and Physics or Engineering Science are required. For Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Higher Chemistry (or equivalent) is also required. Widening Access: Applicants who meet one or more of our widening access metrics and present with BBC, are guaranteed an unconditional offer. Foundation Apprenticeship: One FA is equivalent to a Higher at A. It cannot replace any required subjects. Note: We do not double count a Higher and Advanced Higher in the same subject, but we do consider that a B grade at Advanced Higher is equivalent to an A grade at Higher. National 5 in English at Grade C or above is also required. A LEVEL Standard: Three A Levels at BBC. Good performance required in Mathematics, plus at least one from Physics, Design & Technology, Engineering or Chemistry. For Chemical or Petroleum Engineering A Level Chemistry is required. Widening Access: Three A Levels at CCC, for applicants who meet one or more widening access criteria. GCSE English at Grade C/4 is also required. BTEC LEVEL 3 EXTENDED DIPLOMA DMM. Note: BTEC in Applied Sciences is not normally sufficient on its own for entry into any of our Engineering degrees. Good performance required in Mathematics and Physics. For Chemical or Petroleum Engineering A Level Chemistry is required. GCSE English at Grade C/4 is also required. IRISH LEAVING CERTIFICATE Five subjects at Higher, with Mathematics at H2 and four subjects at H3 (including Physics) Mathematics and Physics are required. For Chemical or Petroleum Engineering H3 Chemistry is also required. INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE 32 points with 5, 5, 5 at HL including Mathematics and Physics. In addition for entry to Chemical or Petroleum Engineering Chemistry is required. SL English is also required.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
