BEng Railway Engineering

The BEng Railway Engineering with foundation year at the University of East London is a four-year course that begins with a year of foundation modules, which prepare students for the core degree modules. They will learn essential mathematical and analytical skills, take introductory modules in Computing, and learn professional development skills via the Mental Wealth module.

In the core degree modules, they will learn to design, build, operate and manage existing and new railways and infrastructure. They will gain theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills in civil and systems engineering for railway infrastructure. They will work with state-of-the-art facilities, including hydraulic compression and testing, a digital robotic arm, 3D manufacturing, fluid dynamics channels, scanning electron microscopes, CNC, plasma, and laser cutting machines.

Learning will take place through diverse modes, including lectures, workshops, seminars, individual and group tutorials, and other technology-facilitated modes, as well as hands-on learning with the latest industry-standard software. Assessments will be done through technology-facilitated modes, coursework, and exams.
