Mechanical and Automotive Engineering: Courses

Which course should I apply for?

BSc (Hons) Courses

The BSc programme addresses the needs and aspirations of students who have a strong interest in technology and its practical application. The programme addresses the requirements of employers for graduates with a wide range of technical, management and business knowledge and skills to work in areas such as manufacturing management, product design, CAD, Automotive and Motorsport Technology.

Students applying for these courses may study any combination of subjects at Advanced Level or any other accepted degree entry course.

MEng/BEng (Hons) Courses

Mechanical Engineering industries in the UK suffer from a lack of graduates with appropriate skills. The MEng/BEng Mechanical programme seeks to provide a sound education in areas of mechanical engineering through an integrated and coordinated programme that includes a range of course titles. The courses are designed to stimulate interest in students from a variety of backgrounds and are all accredited by the I.Mech.E.

Students applying for these courses will typically be studying Mathematics and Science or Technology at Advanced Level, other entry qualifications include National Diploma, AVCE or GNVQ in Engineering.

Engineering Foundation Year

the Foundation Year is Year 0 of a degree course. It is an excellent preparation for individuals who want to study engineering but, for whatever reason, are not currently qualified for direct entry to Year 1 of their chosen degree. The Foundation Year develops competence and confidence in the fundamentals of mathematics and physics relevant to the study of engineering. As such it qualifies the students for year 1 entry to any engineering degree at the University of Huddersfield.

Part-time and Top-up courses

The HND Mechanical and manufacturing Top-up course allows students with a HNC to achieve a HND in one year, studying part-time. A further two years of part-time study, or one year full time study enables students to obtain a BEng(Hons) Engineering with Technology Management qualification.
