The BEng (Hons) Engineering Design course aims to provide the manufacturing and engineering sector with high grade engineers that have practical skills and a higher education qualification. Bucks New University has been delivering engineering degrees in Buckinghamshire and surrounding area for over 25 years, and all our academics on the programme are able to apply strong industrial experience to their teaching.

The programme is ideal if you have already completed an HNC/HND in Engineering or foundation degree, enabling you to join the course directly at Level 5 or 6. The degree has been accredited by the Institute of Engineering Designers (IED) to IEng. level and provides professional recognition for the study undertaken.

Traditionally, students have come from industry and have strong technical capabilities with a reasonable level of ability in maths and science. However, as part of the University’s commitment to widening participation, the programme has been developed to make it more accessible and efficient in its delivery as well as meeting industry requirements.
