Program Overview
This comprehensive engineering design program equips students with advanced problem-solving skills, innovative thinking, and expertise in conceptual and detailed design. Through a combination of core engineering principles and specialized design modules, graduates gain a deep understanding of the entire design process, from problem definition to manufacturing and construction. The program culminates in a research project, providing hands-on experience in developing and applying engineering solutions.
Program Outline
Degree Overview:
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. In the final year of study you can undertake a range of advanced technical units from across the Faculty of Engineering. 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 in the field of modern-day, multi-disciplinary design engineering.
Fees for 2025 will be confirmed, subject to government approval, later in 2024.
- £9,250 per year, home students
