Engineering
Lucy Cavendish has a diverse and supportive community of Engineers.
The Cambridge course leads to a BA after three years, and ordinarily an MEng, after four. It provides a broad education in engineering fundamentals, followed by in-depth training in one professional specialism. Cambridge Engineers are highly employable, and almost all find jobs within six months of graduating.
Lucy Cavendish hosts a number of events for Cambridge AWiSE, a regional network for women in STEM, and is committed to the Engineering Diversity initiative (previously Women in Engineering), improving the experience of women in engineering.
Further information about the course can be found on the Faculty and University websites.

-
For applicants for 2023 entry, the deadline for registering for this assessment is Friday 30 September 2022.
-
Applicants will sit the ENGAA on Wednesday 19 October 2022.
