Engineering

Main page content

Engineering is about problem solving. As an engineer you rely on your knowledge to find solutions. Mathematics is your primary toolbox, but you are not just using your tools to take something apart or fix it; you are employing them in imaginative new ways to solve problems you might not have encountered before. Studying Engineering equips you with detailed knowledge in specific areas, such as civil engineering, electrical engineering or bioengineering. More importantly, studying Engineering will develop your analytical skills, lateral thinking and solution-orientated approaches. These skills are valued by people inside and outside of Engineering. More details about the Engineering course at Cambridge can be found on the University website.
