Course summary
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 or construction processes.
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 final year of study.
