This practical general engineering (honours) degree bridges many disciplines of engineering, including mechanical, electrical and electronic, civil, environmental, and product design. ASU London’s aim is to develop professional engineers who are equipped with skills for the future job market.
Projects are developed around key themes such as smart cities, sustainability, user-centred design and manufacturing. These projects will be real-life industry challenges, co-designed with industry and community partners.
This interdisciplinary programme is ideal if you’re interested in all aspects of engineering and don’t want to decide on a specific discipline. The skills and knowledge you’ll gain are equally applicable to systems, products and processes across engineering.
For those who choose to study the MEng (over 4 years) you’ll graduate with an integrated master’s qualification, making you eligible to pursue chartered status as an engineer, without the need for further study.
You’ll start to look at engineering as a professional multi-disciplinary activity. Designing a prototype for a product, you’ll integrate different aspects of engineering and apply the knowledge and skills you have learnt so far to create a solution to a brief. Through masterclasses and workshops, you’ll work in a team to research, design, manufacture and prototype a product to meet a given specification. You’ll test your prototype and get user and functional feedback to develop your design by implementing the feedback. Depending on your project, which is usually related to ‘right to repair’, you’ll gain practical skills in prototyping and manufacturing such as 3D modelling, laser cutting and 3D printing.
Smart cities use data and digital solutions to improve networks, services and infrastructure for the people who live and work there. Learn about designing for smart cities, considering energy and the environment and using material sustainably for a healthy living space.
Develop and apply your understanding of data collection, the Internet of Things, energy and environmental issues, power systems and computing technologies with respect to a global design environment.
Again, working in a team, you’ll consider various engineering technologies to design a safe and clean environment, for your first project on smart cities.
All modules are subject to change and availability. If a module changes after you have been made an offer, you’ll be notified before you start your course.
Understand and apply the principles and applications of structural, mechanical, and civil engineering for the design of modern cities. Together, we’ll cover the fundamental principles of ground and structural engineering and their application in the analysis and design of buildings/built infrastructure. As part of your project, you may consider climate, heating, daylighting and security.
You’ll analyse the assumptions and limitations of structures, adhering to health & safety requirements building regulations and professional design codes. Culminating in a presentation to a technical and non-technical audience of your findings on a complex problem.

Unlike a degree apprenticeship, ASU London students will be working with multiple employers, rather than just one. This provides a wider experience and broader exposure to potential employers – it also allows you to build a portfolio of project experience and delivery, to present, reference and discuss at job interviews. You’ll be engaging with industry in a professional capacity from the very start of your programme.
In your third year, you’ll have the opportunity to complete your major project either in partnership with industry, or with one of our founding partners in Arizona or Sydney*.
We offer opportunities for summer internships to our students, usually between their 2nd and 3rd year, opportunities range from roles in global responsibilities to tech companies.
*Study abroad eligibility for International students is subject to visa status and any travel restrictions.

TEDI-London was the brainchild of three leading names in engineering education. Arizona State University, King’s College London, and UNSW Sydney were already working together to tackle global problems as part of the PLuS Alliance when they saw the need for more diverse, creative-thinking engineering students. TEDI-London was the answer.
Real experiences. Real voices. Discover how ASU London is redefining engineering education – straight from the students living it
After the 3 year BEng, you’ll have several opportunities open to you. Here are some paths you could take to pursue further study:
“Unlike other undergraduate institutions, ASU London focuses on hands-on projects and real-world experiences in partnership with engineering companies. I was drawn to the idea of learning by doing – being able to create something tangible and see the results of my efforts.”
“The education I’m receiving at ASU London is shaping me not just as an engineer, but as a problem solver and innovator. The skills I’m developing are versatile and will influence my future career path, allowing me to adapt to various roles that might extend beyond traditional engineering.”
