Course content

Engineering and Management combines fundamental engineering knowledge and skills with enhanced management theory and practice, allowing you to develop as an engineer and a manager.

The multidisciplinary ethos of the first year builds core theoretical and practical knowledge in mechanical, materials, manufacturing and electronic engineering, plus engineering mathematics. A year-long multidisciplinary group project provides a means of putting core knowledge into practice.

In your final year you’ll study advanced management topics and put your research, project management and engineering skills into practice through an extended individual project.

The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.

• Terms and conditions apply. See online for details.

Learning and teaching

You’ll typically have between 25 and 32 hours of direct contact time per week with your tutors and you will be expected to supplement your lectures with independent study. You should expect your total workload to average about 40 hours per week during term time.

In addition to lectures you’ll also have access to our workshops and laboratories where you’ll be trained to use specialist equipment, supporting and developing what you’ve learnt in the classroom and enabling you to put what you’ve learnt into practice.

A research and practice led culture

All our academic staff are internationally-recognised scientists working across a wide range of topics. Your course will draw on the very latest ideas, research discoveries and new technologies in the field. You’ll be able to participate directly with current research at various stages throughout your degree.

Student projects are often linked to our research activities and may involve working with industrial partners. Recent projects have involved designing a transaction filter for cryptocurrency exchange, developing a tool to help the food industry move towards a circular economy and using AI to optimize domestic energy use.

Assessment

Modules are assessed by a combination of continuous assessment through small practical exercises, project work, essay writing, presentations and exams. You must pass your first year assessment in order to progress to the second year, but the results do not count towards your degree classification.

Project work is a core element of this degree, providing invaluable experience of problem-solving, engineering design and team working. Projects are typically industrially driven, are commercially relevant and often directly involve a company.

Your future

This degree programme combines technical engineering training with management and is designed for those who will become future managers in a wide range of careers in: manufacturing or technical service industries; transport; communication; environment or leisure. It is also suitable for general managers who need a background in engineering; or management consultants or accountants who require further specialised training. On completing this accredited programme you'll become a qualified engineer but with the added benefit of management strings to your bow.

Engineers have a reputation as being articulate, numerate, problem solvers, who claim great job satisfaction. Typically, salaries are significantly higher for engineering graduates than the average for other graduates.
