Our General Engineering degree aims to produce engineers of the future who want to make a real-world impact. You'll gain powerful, in-demand skills and expertise across multiple engineering fields, coupled with essential problem-solving and project management capabilities. This will prepare you for the diverse and complex challenges of tomorrow's workplace, and ensure you're highly adaptable and sought after in a rapidly evolving global job market. Taught by award-winning experts and leading researchers, our unique curriculum offers a blend of leading engineering specialisms. You'll apply mathematical and scientific principles with hands-on, practical skills, tackling authentic design challenges and real-world projects from day one. The first two years build a solid foundation in core engineering principles, while the third year allows you to specialise with your choice of modules and apply your knowledge to real projects, giving you a significant head start in your professional journey. You can also choose to study for the integrated Master’s course (MEng), adding a fourth year to your degree during which you’ll undertake substantial group research and a design project, integrating advanced knowledge from four years of study. The MEng is the main qualification pathway for students who make an early decision to train as engineers. **Accreditation** This programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. The integrated master’s programme – the MEng – fully meets the requirements. **Key benefits** - 9th in the UK for Engineering and Technology (QS subject rankings 2025). - A unique curriculum designed to build well-rounded graduates with skills directly applicable to a whole range of future-focused careers. - A quarter of the degree focuses on design and project – building critical thinking and core future workplace skills. - Study as part of a diverse student cohort – King’s is one of the leading Russell Group universities by proportion of female undergraduates on its Engineering programmes. - 6th in the UK for producing the most employable graduates (Times Higher Education Graduate Employability rankings 2024/5).
