The BEng programme is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) to meet the academic requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineering (IEng), and partially meet the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). The programme starts by providing a foundational grounding in engineering.

You’ll then study more advanced principles of mechanics, manufacturing technology, energy systems and engineering design, potentially working on projects with companies such as Nissan, BAE Systems and Rolls Royce. You will also have the option of taking a placement or study abroad.
