Year 5 (MEng additional year):
Teaching is by lectures, tutorials, seminars, laboratory and project work. Assessment is by assignments, examinations, in-class tests and presentations.
The broad base of the course provides graduates with a wide range of career options, including: CAD systems engineers, manufacturing engineers, production managers, project engineers, automation engineers, quality assurance managers, test engineers and design engineers within companies such as Cummins Turbo Technologies, British Aerospace, David Brown Textron, Weir Valves and Reynold Gears.
A 12 month work placement provides the opportunity for you to apply the knowledge and skills learned in your years of study to a real work environment.
