Found this useful, thank you so much! I’m starting to look into an MSc but did you ever consider taking a break after completing your BEng and Industrial Year before hoping back onto do MSc? I’m currently on a BEng Chemical Engineering route, and I’m looking to go onto an industrial year but I’m more unsure of doing masters straight away/ all in one looking at how costly it all is. But overall it seems really strengthening and it might be something I’ll be interested to do later on.
I did my year in industry between my 2nd and final year of my BEng and I actually found it quite hard going back into full time study from full time work. I’d recommend doing it back to back, but everyone is different. I also did another internship between my BEng and Masters to help pay for the Masters too. A Masters is definitely good to have, but it’s important to consider if you’ll be motivated enough to go back if you take a break. Hope this helped :)
can i do an meng and then do an msc just so i can stay in education longer lol. cost isnt an issue, will it be easier to get a place on an msc course having done meng, and will it increase chances of a higher paying job? thank you x
I’d say it depends what the MSc subject is, but generally yes it will be easier to get a place as you’ve already shown your ability academically. In terms of the job that depends what course you pick
Hi, I am applying for an Msc in Manufacturing Systems Engineering and Management but the course has recently changed its Accreditation status wit IET, how will this affect my application for chartership?
This is a very interesting topic and I was in the same situation before . If you are in a top university (Russell group ) perhaps stay and complete the M.Eng ,otherwise you can go for MSc in a better university with your B.Eng . I like to specialise so after the B.Eng in Electrical & Power Electronics I opted for the MSc in Power Systems Engineering . A very hard decision because the MSc is expensive and not fully funded by student Finance England . M.Eng is more popular here in the UK
Hey Olufemi, i'd like to reach you. I'm thinking of taking this route. I concluded my b.eng in Electricals and electronics engineering and about to either go for Power system engineering or something computer related. How can i message you please?
You've covered pretty much EVERYTHING I needed to know! My uni just offered to put me on the MEng program, but I'm more interested in going off for an MSc with a specialisation. My only concern is being interviewed by universities, because I freak out easy. Were you interviewed when you applied for MSc?
@@kingofmeh1528 Yes definitely earlier is best regardless of the fact that some unis look at all applications collectively regardless of when the application was submitted. I submitted mine in November because getting references took ages!
Thanks! Can I ask, why would anyone apply for MEng at A level when you could just apply for a BEng and transfer to an MEng 2 years later. Because BEng has lower A level requirements
Hey, the idea is that the barrier to transferring to an MEng once in uni might be a little tougher than at A Level. You might need to have achieved a certain grade across certain modules. It’s easier to transfer to BEng from MEng instead of the other way around so that’s why it’s advised people go for this first. Not a hard and fast rule though :)
Thanks, any tips on doing your masters level thesis? Also how you thought about chartership given IchemE's resent update to the process? Do you have any tips if you've gone through it?
Hey, I’ve not gone through the chartership process yet, but when I start the process I’ll be sure to give an update on the channel. I’m doing my thesis now so I’ll definitely do a video on it when I’m done!
This was a solid comparison between the 2 routes. Thank you for this! It was very needed!
Thank you for the feedback!
Still valid even today, great advice.
Thank you for watching!

Not sure if you are still replying but am I
Able to switch to another uni doing an MEng course?
Still here! You'll have to check with the uni you're looking to transfer to. There's a number of factors involved here depending on the university
Excellent video.
Glad you liked it!

Hey, you’ll need to contact your university to see whether it will still fulfil chartership requirements

Nope, no interview!
@@TEMSInfluence thank you for the reply! Just another question, when do you recommend I should apply for the MSc? The earlier the better?

I was on the MEng but left because I absolutely despised one of my lecturers (she was fucking terrible), so MSc it is!
It be like that sometimes :( Wishing you the best of luck!
Great video, very helpful!
I’m glad!
Informative
I didn't know about the chartered engineer status, I am going to do MEng next year.
Definitely worth researching !

Girl, that happened to me😂. The squad left and this was really the longest year of my academic career.
No one talks about it! 😭
