Graduates move into roles such as design, manufacturing, installation or testing engineer in sectors including aerospace, automotive, energy and robotics, and many go on to register as Chartered Engineers or continue to postgraduate study.

A distinctive feature is the 30-credit Individual Engineering Project in the final year, where students solve a real-world problem under industry supervision, linking the core theory to practical outcomes.

Each week you will attend lectures and tutorials, complete laboratory work, develop integrated design projects and use specialised engineering software, with the option to spend a year studying on the University of Birmingham campus in the UK.
