Our pathways

Are you passionate about problem-solving, technology, and innovation but not yet sure which specific branch of engineering is right for you?

Our industry-informed courses equip you with in-demand skills, offering hands-on learning in professional facilities and opportunities to connect with major employers particularly through our award-winning placement.

Chemical engineering

Chemical engineers design and develop the products we use every day, from cosmetics and cleaning products to fertilizers and fuels, driving solutions for a more sustainable planet.

Civil engineering

Imagine building the world around us – roads, bridges, buildings, and even entire cities. Civil engineering is all about designing, constructing, and maintaining the essential structures and systems that shape our daily lives.

Electrical and electronic engineering students

Electrical engineering

This branch of engineering is all about working with electricity and electronics to design and improve the tech that powers our world, from smartphones and wireless comms to greener transport and AI.

Mechanical engineering sciences

Mechanical engineering combines principles from physics, mathematics and materials science to develop everything from engines and robotics to renewable energy and racing cars.

Our engineering students and graduates

Gareth C.

Chemical Engineering MEng

Chemical Engineering is one of the most powerful degrees you can take, because of how widely it can be applied. I'm certain that whatever industry you join you will be able to apply your Chem-Eng skills, you just might have to think of applying them in a different way.

Lisa Silva

Electronic Engineering with Computer Systems BEng (Hons)

From a young age, I always loved problem-solving and technology and so I knew I wanted to go into Engineering. This followed into secondary school where I greatly enjoyed computing and physics but specifically the circuitry topics so Electronic Engineering seemed like the perfect fit.

Kaden Trueman

Aerospace Engineering BEng (Hons)

University is great for gaining a whole range of knowledge you need, but a placement year gives you the chance to develop on a personal level and use that knowledge to create real world impact. At its core, engineering is about solving problems, and a placement year gives you the perfect opportunity to do that.

Ben T.

Civil Engineering MEng

My Industrial Placement Year also affirmed my aspiration to become a contractor and site engineer in the rail sector. I hope to continue this journey with my Surrey/ICE sponsoring company.

What our students say

Charlie

Space Engineering MSc

Surrey helped me in two key ways – the breadth of topics on the course that gave me exposure to lots of different aspects of designing, building and operating spacecraft, and the top-quality teaching provided by the faculty.

Gayathry

Advanced Geotechnical Engineering MSc

The lovely setting of the campus and serene ambience are Surrey's best features. As an international student, I was enthralled by its beauty and the welcoming people.

Oyoma

Chemical Engineering MEng

My degree from Surrey provided me with the skills and experiences necessary to be competitive in the current job market. This included the use of engineering software, working in multidisciplinary teams, practical skills and problem solving.
