    Course Summary

    Cardiff University’s MEng in International Engineering teaches not only the science and precision of engineering but also the creativity of architecture and building design in an international context. It will qualify you for Chartered Engineer status in less time than the traditional route after attending a 3 year program, as well.

    You will learn about civil engineering with a strong focus on the built environment and structural engineering more generally. Another important part of this program will be the semester spent abroad, learning about other cultures and their perspectives on civil engineering. All classes will be taught in English.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Learning And Teaching

    Cardiff’s 4 year (International) MEng program is taught via lectures, extensive laboratory work and ‘examples’ classes.  You will be able to develop one or more specialties with elective modules, and with the subject you choose for your project work. You will also have access to multimedia resources via the Learning Central website.

    Career Possibilities

    95% of the graduates from this program in 2016 found work in their chosen field within 6 months of graduation, or chose to go in to higher degree programs. Graduates have found work with companies such as Ramboll, Capita Symonds, Atkins and Arup as well as a wide range of smaller building services or architectural practices.

    Entry Credit

    Entry Requirements for UK and EU-nationals

    This MEng program typically requires applicants to have achieved at least 3 A levels at AAA, with one A in Mathematics. Other accreditations are accepted, at an equivalent level.

    Entry Requirements for overseas (non-EU) students
