What can I do with my General Engineering Degree?

A general engineering degree prepares you for a wide variety of careers by providing a broad foundation in multiple engineering disciplines, however most graduates find that the role they pursue on graduation and beyond is likely to be influenced by the specialism they have chosen in the latter years of their degree. 

Our graduates work all over the world, from the UK to Australia and the USA. Recent graduates have gone on to work for organisations including  Airbus Group, ARM,  BAE Systems, Cambridge Consultants, CERN, Dassault Systems, Dehns, ITM Power Plc, Jaguar Landrover,  JP Morgan, Mott Macdonald, Network Rail, PRP UK Ltd, Renishaw,  RPS Group, Sheffield Forgemasters Engineering, Siemens Mobility, and Stantec.

Job Roles include: Graduate Engineer, Software Engineer, Graduate Civil Engineer, Control Engineer, Project Engineer, Electrical Engineering Graduate, Development Engineer, Fire Engineer, Graduate Analyst, Mechanical Engineer, and R&D Engineer.

90.9% of  graduates in the School of EEE are in graduate level employment or further study 15 months after finishing their studies
