Program Overview

Industry-led content

Our course content is informed by industrial collaboration and delivered by leading academic staff, many of whom are Chartered Engineers or have worked in industry.

External scholarships available

Students are eligible to apply for external scholarships from the UK Power Academy and UK Electronic Skills Foundation UKESF (Cardiff University is a member of both schemes).

Industry-standard facilities

You will have access to designated design studio space, specialist laboratories, workshops, and computer suites.

Professionally accredited course

Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

The complexity and sophistication of modern engineering requires a multidisciplinary approach. The industry is therefore seeking engineers with broad knowledge and skills in more than one of the traditional engineering disciplines.

The BEng Integrated Engineering is a multidisciplinary degree built around electrical, electronic, and mechanical engineering, which aims to produce experts in the areas of manufacturing, mechatronics, computer-aided design, and renewable energy. Your broad knowledge of various aspects of engineering will ensure you can interact with engineers from all the traditional engineering disciplines in any multidisciplinary environment.

You will also become familiar with the role of engineering within the business environment, as particular attention is paid to economics, management and law.

Note that if Chartered status is important to you, one of our MEng courses may offer a quicker, more direct route than a BEng course.

Other integrated engineering courses available may include:

the opportunity to follow a sandwich year in industry if you choose the relevant four-year BEng or five-year MEng degree option
the opportunity to study abroad at a partner institution for one semester if you choose the relevant MEng (International) degree option.

Course Content
Course structure

We are currently working with our students to update and improve the content of this course. The information shown below reflects the current curriculum and is likely to change. The review of the course is expected to be completed by August 2022 and this page will be updated by end of October 2022 to reflect the changes.

This is a three-year full-time degree. The course includes a carefully chosen balance of core modules and optional modules. Most modules are worth 10 credits, some are worth 20, and the individual project is worth 40 credits. You need to earn 120 credits a year.

There are two semesters each year, each semester consisting of 11 teaching weeks, one revision week and an examination period.

The modules shown are an example of the typical curriculum and will be reviewed prior to the 2022/2023 academic year. The final modules will be published by September 2022.

Year one
- Year one consists of a series of lectures underpinned by practical laboratory sessions.
Year two
- Year two again consists of a series of lectures underpinned by practical laboratory sessions.
Year three
- Year three includes a major project, totalling 40 credits. For this you will work individually, alongside a supervising staff member.
- There are other core modules and a choice of some optional modules, building upon the foundations established in the earlier years.

Career Prospect
Our integrated engineering graduates hold key positions in leading firms such as Halcrow, Atkins, BP, BAE Systems, RWE npower, Mott McDonald, Network Rail, Rolls Royce, Ford, Tata Steel, Nokia, Bosch and beyond. Our graduates have also moved on to work within local government, UK and international utility companies and organisations such as Climate Energy and GlaxoSmithKline.

Being at the forefront of engineering research means Cardiff has excellent links with industry. These links have been developed with companies, both in the UK and overseas, through our Year in Industry schemes and through consultancy work by staff. This involves advising on matters such as energy policy, bridge design, magnetic materials and semiconductor devices.
