Final Year
This MEng programme has two different routes into Year 4. At the beginning of Term 2 of Year 3 you will submit an application for your start-up funding. If your application is successful, you will enrol onto the Start-up Pathway. All other students enrol onto the Innovation Pathway.
Start-up pathway
The Start-up pathway sees successful students enrolling onto the Business Start-Up module in which you will spend your final year launching your own company with the support of the University.
Innovation pathway
In your final year you will complete a 45 credit individual project in collaboration with an academic supervisor. This is the largest single part of your degree and provides you with the opportunity to develop deep knowledge and understanding in an area of your choice. The fourth year culminates in the Exeter Engineering Conference where you will be able to showcase your work from your final projects to staff and guests from industry. This event is a great opportunity to put your best work in front of potential employers.
