Course options
Most of our courses allow you to choose between a three-year Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) or a four-year Masters of Engineering (MEng). The MEng course gives you the opportunity to gain a Masters level qualification and challenges you to study your subject to a deeper level.
All of our courses are available with a year in industry, which gives you the opportunity to gain vital experience in the workplace and find out more about your career options. You can also spend a year abroad as part of your degree.
Our Electronic Engineering with a Foundation Year (BEng) and Music Technology Systems with a Foundation Year (BEng) courses offer a route into engineering if you have potential but you're missing required qualifications.
Visiting students
If you're studying at a university outside the UK, you may be able to spend up to a year in York as a visiting student.

Student and graduate stories
Hear what our students and graduates have to say about studying with us.
Most facilities (except specialised labs) have 24-hour student card access! I have taken advantage of that in the past, especially before exams and deadlines.
There’s a well equipped nanotechnology laboratory and some fantastic teaching laboratories, with brand new soldering irons, power supplies, oscilloscopes, and signal generators. There is so much to further your knowledge regarding Electronic Engineering, and allow you to have a great time.
