Engineering courses for international students
Engineering degrees are long, demanding and accredited, and they lead to some of the most portable careers in the world. Every destination on our list has a skills shortage in engineering and treats engineering graduates well on post-study visas.
Engineering courses at partner universities
MEng Mechanical Engineering
MSc Civil Engineering
BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering
MEng Aeronautical Engineering
MEng Aerospace Engineering
MSc Civil Engineering
Fees are indicative for the 2026/27 cycle, change with exchange rates and policy, and should be confirmed with the university or the relevant government before you decide.
What a engineering and technology degree involves
Engineering covers mechanical, civil, electrical and electronic, chemical, aerospace, automotive, materials and biomedical disciplines, plus newer fields such as robotics and renewable energy. Bachelor's degrees take three to four years (MEng four to five), and one-year MSc programmes specialise.
Why study engineering and technology abroad
- Accredited degrees recognised through the Washington Accord
- Chronic shortages mean strong job prospects in every destination
- Placement years and industry projects are common
- Clear routes to chartered status
- Strong scholarship and assistantship availability

Engineering and Technology: what students ask
Which engineering branch has the best job prospects?
Software and electrical are strongest everywhere; civil and mechanical are in shortage in the UK, Canada and Australia; renewable energy is growing fastest.
Is a UK engineering degree recognised in India and elsewhere?
Yes. Accredited UK degrees are recognised under the Washington Accord, which covers India, Australia, Canada, the US and many more.
What is the difference between BEng and MEng?
BEng is a three-year bachelor's; MEng is an integrated four-year master's that meets the full requirement for chartered engineer status.
Do I need a portfolio or entrance exam?
No portfolio. Students from India, China and Vietnam need the APS certificate for a German visa, and some German programmes ask for TestAS; most others admit on grades.
Can I study engineering in English in Germany?
At master's level, yes, widely. Bachelor's programmes are mostly in German.
