North China Electric Power University (NCEPU) partnership

Our partnership with North China Electric Power University (NCEPU) provides two pathways for study opportunites at both institutions.

The ‘2+2’ undergraduate programme enables students who have successfully completed the first two years (2) of their NCEPU Bachelors programme to join the second year of one of the Leeds degrees listed below. Students have the option of graduating with a BEng after successfully completing two years at Leeds (+2), or with an MEng, BEng Integrated Masters after successfully completing three years (+3) at Leeds.

* Students enrolling on the Integrated Masters (MEng, BEng) programme retain the flexibility to graduate with a BEng only, on successful completion of the two year study period at Leeds. Please also note that there are academic requirements for progression from BEng to the MEng.

The ‘1+1+1’ postgraduate programme enables students who have successfully completed the first year (1) of their NCEPU Masters programme to join a Leeds MSc (Eng) degree (+1), before returning to NCEPU to complete their final year (+1).
