How You'll Study

Teaching methods are designed in consultation with leading employers in the region. Many classes are based in engineering and computing laboratories, focusing on student activity as a means of learning. We introduce theoretical concepts by building on concrete practical activity.

How You'll Be Assessed

You will be assessed through a combination of practical exercises, reports, essays, presentations, and examinations. We want you to develop the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team, therefore assessment includes both of these forms, though the emphasis is strongly on individual work.

Who Will Be Teaching You

You will be taught by staff who are passionate about student learning and development, while also benefiting from guest lectures delivered by industry experts. The programme team are specialists in engineering and computing and are active researchers. Their research feeds directly into the teaching of the programme, ensuring that you will learn about the latest developments within subjects while gaining the skills and knowledge required to meet industrial needs.

Entry Criteria

• Typical offer 112-120 UCAS Tariff points. This must include A Level Mathematics at Grade C or above or equivalent.
• GCSE English Language at Grade C or Grade 4 or above, or equivalent, is also required.
• For students studying BTEC, a BTEC Extended Diploma in Engineering is preferred. Typical offers will be DMM, with grade Merit or above in one of the following units:
  • to solve engineering problems
