Highlights of this degree

Who is this course for?

Who is this course for?

If you don't have mathematics and/or science at the appropriate level to apply for our engineering degrees, this course is for you.

If you have proven ability in other subjects, it gives you the opportunity to develop the knowledge you need to apply to an engineering degree here.

This course is also appropriate if you have technical or vocational qualifications or are from a different educational system. 

What does it lead to?

What does it lead to?

This course gives you with the knowledge you need to progress to one of our three- or four-year mechanical engineering degrees:

  • Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Engineering BEng Honours (HH73)
  • Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Engineering MEng Honours (HH37)
  • Mechanical Engineering BEng Honours (H300)
  • Mechanical Engineering MEng Honours (H301)
  • Mechanical Engineering with Bioengineering MEng Honours (H3H8)
  • Mechanical Engineering with Mechatronics MEng Honours (H3H6)
  • Mechanical and Low Carbon Transport Engineering MEng Honours (H390)

If you are not sure which engineering discipline you are interested in, you should apply for the general Engineering with Foundation Year degree.

This allows you to delay your choice of engineering discipline until the end of the foundation year.

BEng or MEng?

BEng or MEng?

We offer engineering degrees at two levels - BEng and MEng. Both provide a pathway to becoming a Chartered Engineer (CEng). This is one of the most recognised international engineering qualifications.

Our Master of Engineering (MEng) degrees are a direct route to becoming chartered. You don't need to study any more qualifications after your degree to achieve chartered status.

Our BEng degrees can also lead to Chartered Engineer status. However, you'll need to complete further study, like an approved Master's degree.

Visit the Engineering Council's website for information about the benefits of becoming chartered.
