But if you’ve had no exposure to engineering
disciplines at school or college, deciding on
a specialism may not be straightforward.

At Warwick, our flexible, innovative and

interdisciplinary courses enable you to
experience a range of different engineering
disciplines before specialising in automotive,
biomedical systems, civil, electrical, electronic,
manufacturing and mechanical, mechanical or
systems engineering*. Alternatively, you can
choose to study a more diverse engineering
curriculum or adopt a business focus.

Our courses are structured to give you choice

and flexibility whilst meeting the needs of
employers who want engineers with strong
technical knowledge, and the ability to
understand and communicate within
technical and business roles.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS*
Our standard entry requirements for courses starting in 2024 are:
BEng
A level: AAA to include Mathematics and Physics.
IB: 36 to include 6, 6 in Mathematics and Physics. At least one of
these subjects should be at Higher Level.

MEng
A level: A*AA to include Mathematics and Physics.
IB: 38 with 6, 6, 6 at Higher Level. Mathematics and Physics are
required. At least one of these subjects should be at Higher Level.

English language requirements also apply.

Applicants with a strong profile who are studying only one from A
level Physics or A level Mathematics may still be considered.

We encourage applications from students with a wide range
of other qualifications.

EXPERIENCE A RANGE OF DIFFERENT ENGINEERING
DISCIPLINES BEFORE YOU SPECIALISE.

All Engineering students at Warwick develop an in-depth understanding

of the fundamental principles of Engineering by following a general
engineering programme for the first year.

From second year onwards you can specialise in one of nine engineering
disciplines, or continue on the general Engineering pathway.

This course structure not only ensures you make an informed decision
about which specialism is right for you, but is also much favoured by
industry which requires graduates that are conversant in the
underlying principles of all engineering disciplines.

Students can also switch from the three-year BEng to

the four-year MEng degree if academic requirements
and regulations are met, and from the MEng to the
BEng if they prefer to graduate earlier.

AND STUDENTS ALIKE.
The academics who teach you work at the forefront of their
subjects and are making internationally significant advances,
so you’ll encounter the latest thinking and most up-to-date
knowledge while you study at Warwick.

TEACHING
We take an enhanced learning approach to enable practical,
experimental, reflective, flipped, interactive and peer-to-peer
learning. You will experience face-to-face and online teaching
and learning activities such as lectures, interactive sessions
(seminars, workshops), design and make, practical and
experimental (laboratory) activities.

The mix of activities and mode of delivery are selected according

to the content of individual modules, and normally, multiple
weekly face-to-face sessions are provided.

PROFESSIONAL SKILLS
As well as deep subject knowledge, our courses help you
develop key skills in independent and critical thinking,
presentation, communication, research, leadership,
teamwork and organisation. Our courses are designed to
progressively build your knowledge, skills and confidence
to ensure that you’re ready for life after university.

We understand that the wellbeing of your
child is extremely important to any parent, and
coming to university can be a big adjustment,
both for your child and for you. At the University
of Warwick, we fully understand this and are
committed to providing a supportive, positive,
and safe environment for all.

Sometimes students can encounter personal

difficulties, but the University has a number
of specialist support services to aid students
through challenging times and enable them to
fulfil their potential.

Especially when students start at University, the
adjustment process can take time. Experience shows
us that one of the biggest concerns for new
undergraduate students is making friends. A degree
of anxiety is a normal part of life, particularly when
faced with new situations.

Whilst they may feel like they are in the minority, we can
assure you, they are not. Most students will adjust within
a number of weeks, but if your child is still struggling,
please encourage them not to come home as this may
be worse for them. Instead encourage them to find
support at Warwick, which they can get through our
Wellbeing Support Services team and on our online
Wellbeing Portal. Remind them to also take care of
themselves as having a healthy sleep, diet and exercise
routine is really key to positive for an all-round positive
student experience.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Students will have a personal tutor within their academic
department who will provide regular support and
advice, whilst being available for regular catch-ups to
discuss their progress and any questions they may have.
They can offer students tips on course topics, academic
writing support and can give personal support to a
degree, but for more personal issues, our Wellbeing
Support Services are available to help.
