Why BSc(Hons) Engineering?
Engineers play an important role solving the 21st century problems faced by industry and society. As a result, there is high demand for graduates with a broad-based approach to engineering problem-solving and a sound understanding of multi-disciplinary projects.
Why study our course?
If you have successfully completed an Engineering Foundation degree, an HND or international qualification requiring conversion, this course provides a one-year top-up to an honours degree. Building on the foundation of your previous studies, you can choose pathways in manufacturing or electronics. On manufacturing you will study subjects such as mechanical design, manufacturing systems, alternative energy, operations and quality management, and automated manufacture. On electronics, you may examine robotics, signal processing, computer networks and embedded systems.
Real world experience
To make sure that you're industry ready when you graduate, you will apply your knowledge through a series of live projects with real clients throughout the year. You will also get an inside track on the industry and careers at presentations from visiting professionals.
Where it can take you
On graduation, you can choose from engineering careers in the UK and overseas. Opportunities include positions as computer-aided design (CAD) engineers, technicians, mechanical engineers, project managers, and product support engineers.
