• BEng Systems Engineering (HH35)
• MEng Systems Engineering (HH31)
• Engineering students at Warwick develop an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of engineering by following a general engineering programme at the start of their time with us. Thereafter, those specialising in Systems Engineering will develop the tools required to model problems across different areas, synthesising their knowledge and highlighting analogies.

If you aspire to achieve Chartered Engineer (CEng) status, a degree from Warwick is a great starting point. The majority of our degrees are accredited by licensed professional engineering institutions, such as the IET, IMechE and JBM and provide the academic component (in part or fully) needed for Chartered Engineer status.

Entry requirements are published on the University website:

Applications are made through UCAS. Further information and guidance about the admissions process is available on the University websiteLink opens in a new window.

Come and see for yourself what Warwick is all about! Our University Open DaysLink opens in a new window give you the chance to visit the School of Engineering, see the facilities, meet staff and students, tour the campus and get a real feel for life at Warwick. If you apply to study at Warwick and are subsequently made an offer, you may also be invited to an Offer Holder Open Day.

We offer flexible degree programmes that enable you to experience a range of engineering disciplines before you decide to specialise.

During Year 1, you will cover the key fundamental general engineering topics that will set you up for the rest of your degree course and career. You’ll be able to: design and manufacture a product using CAD and 3D printers; write code to simulate mechanical and electrical systems; analyse and build electrical circuits; and understand key physics-based topics such as dynamics and thermodynamics; and cover key engineering mathematics topics..

From Year 2 onwards, you will specialise in Systems Engineering, where you will focus on building expertise in the following areas:
• Artificial Intelligence & Robotics - teaching machines to see, learn, and act
• Mathematical Modelling & Control – predicting, controlling and optimising real-world systems
• Software and Systems Thinking – bringing together technology, data, and people

Students can also switch from the three-year BEng to the four-year MEng degree if academic requirements and regulations are met, and from the MEng to the BEng if they prefer to graduate earlier.

Year 1

In your first year you will be taught the fundamentals of engineering, which you will build on in later years according to your interests.

Year 2

Year 3

Year 4 (MEng only)

Detailed information for each module can be found on this webpage.

We are constantly evolving our courses to keep up with developments in engineering and requirements from industry, so it is important you check our website for the most up-to-date on module availability.

Intercalated degrees

Students may choose to spend a year in industry, research or study abroad between years two and three, or between year three and four for MEng. If you choose to take an intercalated year, this will be reflected in your degree title, and add a year to your degree programme.

Tuition fees

Please see the University websiteLink opens in a new window for details of tuition fees, financial support and the cost of living.

Scholarships

The School of Engineering is privileged to attract high fliers and seeks to recognise and promote achievement, talent, ideas, hard work and diversity. We regularly offer a number of scholarships.

A degree in Systems Engineering gives you the skills to think critically, work in teams, and apply data science , control and software engineering to solve real-world problems. Warwick students have gone on to careers in aerospace, robotics, smart transportation and consulting. From designing the next Mars rover to revolutionising medical technology to developing sustainable energy solutions, this course will enable you to look at the bigger picture and work on the most complex and technologically advanced products of the future.
