You’ll develop the ability to think beyond individual components and tackle the complex, interconnected challenges shaping our world. As engineers increasingly work across technical, social and environmental boundaries, this module equips you with the tools to understand and design within complex systems.

You’ll explore Systems Thinking and Systems Engineering, learning how to model relationships, feedback loops and emergent behaviour, and how to identify meaningful intervention points. Working on an industry linked, interdisciplinary challenge such as sustainable transport, renewable energy or global health systems, you’ll apply systems mapping and modelling tools to diagnose problems and propose integrated solutions.

By the end of the module, you’ll be able to analyse complexity with confidence and design strategies that balance technical, social, environmental and economic dimensions, preparing you to lead change in a rapidly evolving global context.

Teaching and study time

As a full-time undergraduate student, you’ll normally study 120 credits each academic year. Each credit represents around 10 hours of learning, so a typical 30-credit module involves around 300 hours of study. This includes scheduled teaching and activities, guided learning and independent study.

Forget lectures

You’ll work hands-on in our ‘makerspaces’, both individually and in groups, to research, design and create conceptual designs, or artefacts and prototypes. You’ll be guided through the project and problem-based learning approach through sessions that provide the opportunity to discuss challenges associated with the projects and share your ideas and learn from each other.

Teaching comprises of workshops, masterclasses, group discussions and practical sessions in the makerspaces. This is supported by individual study through our online learning environment.

We don’t do exams. Assessment is a mixture of group project reports, individual reports, pitches, presentations, demonstrations, open book in-class tests, short videos and posters.

This diverse range of assessment methods ensures that you demonstrate your understanding and skills in multiple authentic ways, catering to different learning styles and preferences, as well as mirroring desirable, professional employability skills.

Industry skills

Most projects will involve industrial collaboration, giving you experience of applying your knowledge and skills to real-world industry challenges.

Working with industry

Industry is embedded throughout the ASU London experience, helping you connect your learning with the world of work. 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*.

*Study abroad eligibility for International students is subject to visa status and any travel restrictions.

Entry requirements

Our entry requirements are designed to open pathways to higher education for students with a wide range of experiences, qualifications and backgrounds. Like Arizona State University, we measure our success not by whom we exclude, but by whom we include – and how well they thrive.

The criteria below are provided as a guide to help you determine whether ASU London is the right fit for you:

If studying A Levels, IB, BTEC, T Level (or any post 16 education) you’ll be on track for approximately 112 – 120 UCAS points (BBC- BBB) or equivalent

GCSE Maths grade C/4 (or equivalent Level 2 qualification)

For working adult students or others who may not meet these requirements, you may be invited to an online interview.

International entry requirements

No maths A-Level? no problem

We are not saying maths isn’t important to study engineering – it is! However, we don’t see a Maths Level 3 qualification as essential to studying with us and becoming an incredible future engineer. Alongside all the other engineering skills that you’ll develop, we’ll support you throughout your maths journey with us, and it’ll become yet another tool to help you change the world for the better.
