If you aspire to be the boss of an engineering company then this course will provide you with the skills you require to succeed. Major companies have told us that they do not have enough qualified engineering managers at the highest level so we designed this course to prepare you for a career in this high demand area. You'll gain a comprehensive knowledge of engineering topics as well as valuable management and business skills, plus engineering-specific management tools. You'll learn through a combination of problem solving, case studies, computer-based applications, project work and a 20 week industrial placement during year 3 of your studies. International exchange opportunities may also be available. The degree course has an Incorporated Engineer accreditation from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Honours degree has a partial Chartered Engineer accreditation. This means that you will receive a widely regarded professional qualification as well as a degree. Because we know that many students prefer to keep their options open in their first years of study, we offer a programme of general engineering modules in the first year of your degree, before you begin to specialise. As well as gaining engineering and management skills, you will also develop a wide range of transferable skills such as team working, presentation and communication.
