Engineering degrees abroad
Engineering is one of the most popular subjects to study at university, and a very attractive option for international students studying abroad. It’s a hugely diverse subject that encompasses many fields and disciplines and provides students with invaluable skills for their future careers.
Degrees in engineering are available in countries and universities all over the world, at all levels of study including bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate levels.


Engineering program structure
Engineering is an incredibly broad subject, and no two programs will be the same. A general engineering degree will aim to cover the fundamentals of the subject, giving you the ability to explore different topics before choosing an area of specialty.
Some of the topics and modules you can expect to study at undergraduate include:
- Engineering mathematics
- Electrical engineering/electronics
- Mechanics and materials
- Entrepreneurship and engineering
In many engineering degrees, you will learn about the foundations of the subject, and can then choose to focus your studies in a specific area from the second year onwards.
Engineering degrees include workshops, group work, computer lab work and hands-on practical work. The program will also include lectures, seminars and tutorials, and you’ll be assessed through a mixture of written exams, presentations, coursework and practical work.
Why study engineering abroad
Studying engineering overseas is a great way to access the best engineering schools and programs from all over the world.
Engineering is a global profession, and attending university abroad can give you unique experience that could be invaluable in your career after graduation. It will also be a great chance to broaden your personal horizons, meet new people and improve your language skills.
One important thing to remember is to make sure the program you study is recognized by the governing body in your home country if you plan to return to work. For example, degrees should be recognized by the Council of Engineering in the UK in order to practice as a chartered engineer.


Where to study engineering abroad
Choosing where you’ll study engineering abroad is a huge decision to make. It will influence the quality of the education you’ll get and also your quality of life for three years or more. When working out where you want to study, think about:
- The part of the world you want to study in
Make sure the location you choose is somewhere you’ll enjoy living. Think about the climate, culture and politics of each country when making your decision.
- Where you want to work after graduation
If you want to return home after you graduate to start your engineering career, make sure the degree you get is recognized by the governing body in your home country.
- How well ranked the program or university is
If the content and reputation of the program is your main concern, base your decision on which universities have the best engineering schools and programs.
Best countries to study engineering
When it comes to looking for the countries with the most respected and highly ranked engineering programs and schools, the USA and UK are top of the list.
However, there are many other countries that have fantastic reputations for the quality of their engineering programs, including Germany, Switzerland and Singapore.
Best universities to study engineering
You can study engineering abroad at a large multi discipline university, or a specialist engineering school or college that focuses on engineering subjects.
To find the best university for you to study engineering at, consider:
- What the program covers
- If the program includes any internship opportunities
- The culture and student life offered by the university
- Where you want to be located, e.g. a city or a more rural campus
Make sure you take these things into consideration, as well as the reputation of the university’s engineering programs, when making your decision.
