BEng (Hons) Railway Engineering (With Foundation Year)

Graduates of the program will be able to design, build, operate and manage the sophisticated and complex interfaces characterizing existing and new railways and infrastructure. The program will also enable you to gain strong theoretical knowledge and practical skills in civil and systems engineering with a core focus on the railway industry and its operations. You will be actively involved in developing the specific design and professional skills required by professional engineers and will tackle numerous design problems to develop your interpersonal, enterprise, and employability skillset (aka mental wealth) along with analytical, technical, and industrial decision-making abilities. Whilst studying all the major civil, mechanical, and systems engineering subjects, you will also gain experience in a range of current railway system issues and disciplines. The program will benefit from the opportunities to get involved in cutting-edge research projects on the built environment of infrastructure, geotechnics, coastal and transportation engineering. The program also offers an optional placement year to all students, enabling you to experience the real world and effectively connect your UEL experience with the industry.
