This is an ideal route into engineering if you wish to sample all our disciplines and want a sustained broad learning experience. As with all our degrees, you will decide whether to stay on this general pathway or switch to another engineering course during your second year of study.

Many engineered solutions involve multidisciplinary teams. General Engineers can see synergy across these disciplines which enables them to solve high-level problems. The Warwick course will allow you to develop sought-after skills including a multidisciplinary approach to problem solving, the ability to manage projects and communicate ideas, and the capacity to lead, research, design, innovate and develop products and systems. Interdisciplinary projects enable you to tackle challenges that could range from creating search and rescue robots, designing carbon-free homes, optimising mechanical biological waste treatment or building a nano-satellite. Warwick students are especially equipped to work in multi-disciplinary organisations in functional teams which create solutions incorporating (for example) mechanical and electrical components, or on largescale civil projects where interdisciplinary thinking is required to understand (for example) the impact of the London Olympics on public transport.
