About this course

Overview If you have an interest in improving and creating products and want to top up your HND or Foundation degree to a full Bachelor's degree, this BEng (Hons) Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering top-up degree course is ideal.

Study anywhere that suits you, over two or three years, while learning how to create and improve products that could change people's lives and transform the way businesses operate.

Boost your current career prospects, contribute more to your employer or launch into new areas of engineering and technology, such as 3D printing, robotics and defence.

The content of the course is broadly similar to IET accredited courses offered by the Department, although since the programme is equivalent to a one-year full-time programme, it is not accredited by the professional body. The proposed programme is compatible with similar courses offered in the department and other institutions within the UK.

Course highlights

  • Enhance your existing knowledge of engineering science and design fundamentals

  • Specialise in subjects such as computer-aided design (CAD), sustainable product development, conservation and quality management

    Careers and opportunities You could use this top up to secure a more senior role if you're planning to stay with your current employer after graduating.

    You could also apply your skills to any number of roles in industries such as oil refinery, machinery manufacture and plastics. All engineering roles are listed in the UK Government’s 'skills shortage list' – which means engineers are currently in high demand.

    Our graduates have worked in areas such as:

  • product design

  • manufacturing and installation

  • project management

  • research development

    What jobs can you do with a mechanical and manufacturing degree?
