Course search
The Engineering Council maintains a searchable database of degree courses, apprenticeships and other qualifications or programmes that have been recognised as meeting the learning outcomes for a given category of professional registration.
In the search box below, you can enter as many keywords as you like, according to how widely you wish to search.
To note: Please also describe the university/polytechnic you graduated from. Our database will cover them. For instance, if you graduated from Lancashire Polytechnic (now University of Lancashire), the search will find your course and its history.
