Important Information

Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the courses listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the regular review of course programmes. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes, there will normally be prior consultation of students and others. Changes may for example consist of variations to the content and method of delivery of programmes, courses and other services, to discontinue programmes, courses and other services and to merge or combine programmes or courses. The University will endeavour to keep such changes to a minimum, and will inform students.

Assessment for Year 1

Our assessment strategies are as varied as our teaching. We're aware that you might prefer to demonstrate your learning in different ways, so our methods of assessment are designed to give you opportunities to shine through a variety of methods. Types of assessment include written work, poster presentations, illustrative sketches and traditional examinations.

Structure

In your first year you’ll take on small design projects and gain a grounding in engineering mathematics and principles, supported by an introduction to many of the broader considerations of engineers. Engineering Studies will allow you to study a number of more focused engineering disciplines. Introductions to mechanical, electronic and electrical and energy engineering are delivered through lectures, fieldwork, and design-and-build tasks.

After these introductions you’ll be given the flexibility to change your degree path based on what you’ve learnt. You can choose your preferred path at any point before the start of your second year or, with appropriate module choices, further delay the decision until the end of second year.

Teaching and Learning

Your Engineering degree course will combine lectures, workshops and tutorials. You’ll be asked to apply the knowledge you’ve gained to a research problem or a series of questions, or to solve a design problem. This application of knowledge will enable you to gain a deeper understanding of the material and help you to retain what you have learnt.

Throughout your studies you will develop skill sets in line with the guidance provided by the Engineering Council. That means you’ll graduate with the capabilities you need to get your career off to a flying start, including being an effective communicator, digitally literate, and capable of dealing with complex problems where you have insufficient data.

You’ll develop your communication skills through written reports, oral presentations and workshop discussions. And workshops will also give you time to develop digital skillsets in computer analysis and design.

What’s more, we’ll provide you with multiple opportunities to connect with industry, giving you the opportunity to develop your networking abilities and make professional contacts.

By combining excellence in teaching with industrial connections, we aim to secure your success as you progress through your programme and beyond.

Independent study

Independent study will be guided by the requirements of your research projects, design work and problem-solving exercises. You can expect to explore your module content widely, through which you’ll develop the independent learning skills so highly valued by employers. This will culminate in the development and presentation of your final year multi-disciplinary or industry-linked project.
