About this programme
This in-depth course aims to develop high-calibre, innovative design engineers who can lead complex projects, and develop new products, processes and services that are vital to the needs of modern society.After a broad, common first year, you can start to explore design methodology and professional practice in more depth.Unique design-focussed units in the first two years of this course provide essential skills in problem definition, conceptual design, detail design, analysis and manufacturing/construction processes.The third year of the course is spent in industry, allowing students to apply their engineering knowledge and skills while enhancing their professional development. There is no direct entry on to this course but you can transfer from BEng Design Engineering if you reach a high academic standard and are successful at a placement interview.In the final year of study, you can undertake advanced technical units from a range of engineering subjects. This gives you the chance to gain further technical expertise and specialist knowledge within engineering disciplines as well as a broader learning experience in other subjects, relevant to the field of modern-day, multi-disciplinary design engineering.A group-based design project done in partnership with industry forms a major component of your penultimate year of study. Yasmin completed a year in industry and found that it boosted her confidence, improved her career prospects and helped her develop a deeper appreciation for university life.
