What's the difference between a BEng and an MEng?

Each engineering subject is available as either a BEng or an MEng, and both come with an optional placement year:

BEng (Hons) - 3 years full-time, or 4 years with an optional placement year
MEng (Hons) - 4 years full-time, or 5 years with an optional placement year

The MEng is your most direct route to meeting the academic requirements for (CEng) status - the professional benchmark most valued by employers. Chartered Engineers have a higher earning potential and often occupy more senior roles.

The MEng shares the three first years with the corresponding BEng, but includes an additional final year covering advanced technical content, industrially-related project work and professional skills.
