General Engineering vs Civil Engineering

Hey there,

So I've received all my offers from the Universities I have applied to, but I'm now trying to make a decision on if I should first choice Engineering (BEng) at Warwick or Civil Engineering (MEng/BEng) at Leeds. I've been to both applicant open days, yet I can't make a decision yet.

With Warwick, you get to specialize in Engineering after the second term of the second year. The disciplines are Automotive, Civil, Electrical and Electronic, Electronic, Manufacturing, Mechanical, Biomedical, and Systems Engineering.

With Leeds, you get to specialize within Civil Engineering during your second year in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Civil and Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering with Project Management or Civil Engineering with Transport.

I'm extremely interested in Civil Engineering and curious about Structural and Geotechnical Engineering, but General Engineering does interest me as well since the disciplines can crossover

I would like to know which one would you first choice and why? Is it better to specialize straight away or give yourself a year before making that decision? I would also like to ask for those doing General Engineering, what are the positives and negatives about the course. Same for those who started Civil Engineering or any other specific discipline in Engineering.

Your thoughts and opinions are much appreciated
Many Thanks
