Software, if you consider that as engineering. It's involved in everything nowadays. Electrical & electronics would be next, and has a more favourable jobs to graduates than other traditional engineering disciplines. Mechanical is very broad, though lots of people study it at university, often because of its breadth, so it can be hard to stick out on the jobs market as a graduate.

Thanks....actually i am not from uk....but that doesnt mean i will always stay in my own country....here some universities are offering engineering degree in artificial intellegence..will it be a great choice???
Actually some countries(like uk,us) are strictly regulating the AI.so i am worried that...will There be great future For AI in upcoming decades???

I don't know much about AI itself but in the future I think it will probably be a hot area that will attract lots of funding, so will probably also have good job prospects.
Chemical engineering and biomedical engineering could be two pretty good picks. With an increasing global focus on health technology, climate change and longevity. Graduates that studied engineering in these two specialisations could be heavily sort after.
Mechanical engineering could also be a very good pick.

Personally, I would avoid aeronautical and software as these fields are getting quite saturated.

Civil as well could be a potentially bad pick if you want to stay in the UK because of an increasingly trend of lack of investment into infrastructure in the UK and an ageing population so less demand for housing and office blocks. But still could be okay.

tbh studying any type of engineering at a reputable university is never a bad idea in the current economic climate.

Okay thank you..but i m not from the uk...but when i m entering the job market of privet sector...i think i should have clear understanding of global market...as there's not certainty that i will always stay in my home country...actually in my countries institutes are offering degrees in AI and machine learning..do you think ai would give great job prospect in upcoming decades???
Actually im concerned because some countries are imposing tough regualtions on ai sector...could it hurt future job prospect of AI sector??

I wouldn’t recommend studying anything with ‘AI’ in the course name for undergraduate unless you’re studying it in a top 10 uni in the UK (I.e imperial college London). if you want to go into AI I’d strongly suggest studying degree level mathematics/software engineering/computer science and then do your post graduate in AI.

I’ll tell you a good degree if you like coding and computers and that’s the cyber security course offered at imperial college London (big demand and job growth at the minute and not so many well qualified graduates in that area). But again, if you’re not sure what you want to do I wouldn’t go that specialised and I would just study something broader like computer science or software engineering.

Also, the to get a job in the AI sector is incredibly competitive (and increasingly so); so I would strongly suggest doing Something broader for your undergraduate.

I personally did Electrical and Performing Engineering which is Computer Aided Design, Mechanical Engineering and Electronic. I am a lift engineer by trade and it was a brilliant apprenticeship.
