What it isYou study how to design and operate equipment and systems that transform raw materials into useful products using chemistry and engineering principles. This dual degree means you earn both a BEng from Trent and a BSc from Swansea University in the UK, completing part of your studies at each campus. It suits students who want international experience, deeper chemistry knowledge alongside engineering, and the option to work in industries like pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, or food processing.In your first semester, you take core engineering courses in math, physics, and design while exploring different engineering specializations — aerospace, chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, software, and manufacturing. You won't choose your specific engineering stream until after first semester, letting you test what each field actually involves before committing. This suits students who are confident they want engineering but unsure which branch matches their interests and strengths.Pre-Engineering is a one-year program that strengthens your math and science foundations before you move into a specialized engineering degree. You'll take courses in chemistry, physics, and advanced mathematics to prepare for civil, mechanical, electrical, or general engineering programs. It's designed for students who want to study engineering but need to build up their technical skills first.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
