Which engineering course should I apply to at uni?

Hi, I'm in Y12, studying Maths,Further Maths,History and Physics at A-Level. I'd like to do some type of engineering course at university, preferrably something to do with cars, energy, robotics or automation. I'm leaning towards more mechanical, but i'm not very sure yet. But, I definitely don't want to do Electronic and/or Electric Engineering, Biomed or Chemical. I'd like to apply to Russell Groups such as Imperial, UCL,Bristol, maybe Oxford if i feel confident enough in Y13. Please suggest anything I can do to research or just advice, any help is appreciated!!!

hii, I was in the exact same position as you, and ive now decided on mechanical engineering as opposed to civil or electrical engineering. the number one thing that helped me decide was actually doing work experience in everything you’re interested in, as well as some short moocs in each field. id say if in doubt, go for mechanical, because it has a bit of everything.

can i ask what work experience you did? was it online/virtual ones or in person. right now i am struggling a bit in finding in-person work experience for anything engineering related.

hi yes ofc!! one of my friends had a connection to a civil engineering and construction firm, and i did a week there in the February half term, which is where i realised i hated civil eng. i then did a 3 week placement over the summer at the material processing institute where i was placed with a bunch of different engineers, scientists, etc. if you need some links to some virtual wex i can send you links. finding wex took a lot of time for me, id recommend asking your careers advisor.

thanks alot!! i have found a few virtual ones, but i'm not sure how realistic they are in terms of what working is actually like. also just out of curiosity, what made you hate civil engineering? i have been considering it for a bit, but i would really like to hear what was not so great about it for you.
