Undergraduate Study at Cardiff School of Engineering

Undergraduate degree programmes at the School cover nine areas of Engineering. On all of the degree schemes you will be taught the fundamental concepts of Engineering through a combination of lectures, design classes and tutorials, supplemented by the practical aspects of engineering which are taught through laboratory and project based work.

Teaching is organised into modules and you will take twelve modules per year, normally six in each of the two semesters. Each semester consists of eleven teaching weeks, one revision week and an examination period. Help with specific aspects of a module can be directly obtained from the lecturers concerned. Staff are happy to clarify any material or answer any of your questions. Your progress will be assessed using a variety of different methods including written examinations, case studies, assignments and project work.

The Cardiff School of Engineering is recognised as one of the best-equipped Engineering schools of all UK universities in terms of facilities, research and teaching.
