Overview

Subject to approval: This new programme will accept students from September 2025 but is not yet open for applications. If you're interested in joining the course please complete the expression of interest form so that we can email you as soon as it opens.

This degree combines a broad education in engineering, engineering management and business, equipping you with the analytical tools and techniques to understand the processes and technologies required across the engineering sector.  Essentially an engineering programme with a business theme, it will give you the general scientific, mathematical and technical skills required not only to understand engineering designs and systems but also to develop key management skills, business model development and entrepreneurship, alongside financial management, accounting and project management.

Practical projects will enhance formal systems thinking and an optional placement year in industry will boost your practical engineering knowledge and employability. Integral to the programme are elements of computer science, embedded systems, digital electronics, data analysis, artificial intelligence and machine learning, sensor systems and robotics, as well as other topics studied across all programmes, such as employability skills. Optional modules can be taken from all Brunel’s engineering departments giving you the chance to gain additional expertise in civil, mechanical, aerospace and chemical engineering.

The BEng Engineering with Business is a three year bachelor's degree course (or four years including a placement year), but we also offer a four year master's degree MEng Engineering with Business (or five years including a placement year).

EU and International entry requirements

If you require a Tier 4 visa to study in the UK, you must prove knowledge of the English language so that we can issue you a Certificate of Acceptance for Study (CAS). To do this, you will need an IELTS for UKVI or Trinity SELT test pass gained from a test centre approved by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) and on the Secure English Language Testing (SELT) list. This must have been taken and passed within two years from the date the CAS is made.

English language requirements

  • IELTS: 6 (min 5.5 in all areas)
  • Pearson: 59 (59 in all sub scores)
  • BrunELT: 58% (min 55% in all areas)
  • TOEFL: 77 (min R18, L17, S20, W17) 

You can find out more about the qualifications we accept on our English Language Requirements page.

Should you wish to take a pre-sessional English course to improve your English prior to starting your degree course, you must sit the test at an approved SELT provider for the same reason. We offer our own BrunELT English test and have pre-sessional English language courses for students who do not meet requirements or who wish to improve their English. You can find out more information on English courses and test options through our Brunel Language Centre.
