This course allows you to top-up your existing qualification to a full honours degree in one year.

 

This course covers topics such as electrical principles, mechanics, manufacturing and materials, microprocessors and thermofluids.

 

You are encouraged to apply to undertake a year-long placement between the second and final years, although it is not compulsory. Past students have secured paid placement with companies such as Jaguar, Nissan, GlaxoSmithKline, Assystem, Cummins Engines, Delphi Powertrain Systems and Tata Steel.

 

Staff use their real-world experience to enhance the already excellent teaching and support, which is enriched by research into areas such as manufacturing systems and advanced maintenance.
