BEng Engineering Business Management

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of Warwick

Program Overview

Year 1: Building Your Foundations

Your first year is all about getting a strong grounding in core engineering principles. You’ll explore how things move and how energy works in Dynamics and Thermodynamics, get hands-on with Electrical and Electronic Circuits, and learn to design practical solutions in Engineering Design. Alongside this, modules like Engineering Mathematics, Materials for Engineering, and Systems Modelling give you the tools to approach problems like a real engineer. You’ll also try your hand at projects like building intelligent robot vehicles or designing home automation systems, putting theory straight into practice.

Year 2: Exploring Specialties

In the second year, you’ll deepen your understanding of engineering and start focusing on areas that interest you most. You’ll study Dynamics and Fluid Mechanics, design integrated systems in Electromechanical System Design, and sharpen your skills in Engineering Mathematics and Technical Computing. You’ll also take part in a major group design-and-make project, tackling real-world challenges and learning to collaborate like a professional engineering team. This is also the year where you can begin to tailor your studies to specialisms like Mechanical Engineering Design or Systems Engineering Principles.

Year 3: Diving Deeper and Applying Knowledge

Your third year is when you really get to explore your passions. You’ll undertake a substantial Individual Project, researching and solving a real engineering problem—sometimes even in collaboration with industry or linked to Warwick’s own cutting-edge research. Alongside this, you’ll build advanced skills in your chosen area, preparing you to graduate ready to tackle real-world engineering challenges and make a difference in your future career.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

At the University of Warwick, studying General Engineering BEng means you’ll do much more than sit in lectures — you’ll learn by actually doing. From your very first year, you’ll get hands-on with projects, experiments, and design challenges, giving you real insight into what working as an engineer feels like. You’ll work in teams, try out new technologies, and see your ideas come to life in world-class facilities.

Here’s how your practical experience is built into the course:

Engineering Build Space (EBS) – a dedicated makerspace where you can bring your ideas to life. Build prototypes, experiment with robotics, 3D print components, or even design soft robotic systems.
Interdisciplinary projects – collaborate on challenges like designing sustainable homes, creating nano-satellites, or tackling waste management solutions. You’ll apply knowledge from across engineering disciplines to solve real problems.
Modern laboratories – use cutting-edge labs to test and refine your designs, learning the practical side of theories you cover in lectures.
Industry-inspired assignments – work on projects that mirror real-world engineering, helping you build the skills and experience employers value.
Teamwork and collaboration – work closely with peers and staff in a supportive, creative environment, developing both technical and professional skills.
