BEng (Hons) Engineering

Engineering at Lancaster will challenge you to design and build things to solve real-world problems. The discipline is particularly interesting to anyone with a technical and creative mind, and enjoys working as part of a team. In modern engineering, it is almost impossible to define distinct boundaries between disciplines and as such we offer a general engineering entry point. Knowledge and experience spanning across several engineering disciplines will compliment later specialisms, improve career prospects, and is ideal for students who want to defer choosing a specialism. A combination of core and optional modules will allow you to focus your interest while gaining practical experience. This flexibility to choose enables you to develop specialist skills from one of the many fields of engineering, preparing you for a vast range of focused or interdisciplinary roles.

Lancaster experts advise Government on Life Beyond Covid

Eight Lancaster academics were among experts from across the UK who have been telling the Government what they think the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic will be in the next two to five years.
This work was done to inform the House of Lords COVID-19 Committee inquiry on Life beyond COVID, and is based on 366 expert responses. Areas of concern include work and employment, health and social care, research and development, society and community, the natural environment, education, arts, culture and sport, infrastructure and crime and justice.
Dr Derek Gatherer (BLS), Dr Matthew Johnson, (PPR), Dr Robert Gutsche Jr (Sociology), Dr Yang Hu (Sociology), Professor Bruce Hollingsworth (Health Economics), Professor Sara Fovargue (Law), Professor Alfredo De Massis (LUMS/Free University of Bozen-Bolzano) and Professor Mike Tsionas (Economics).

Experts suggested that remote working might transform work life but that the availability and security of work might reduce. The possible long-term mental and physical health effects of COVID-19 were a source of concern for many experts, as were potential increases in health inequalities and the future viability of the NHS and social care system.
