Design & Engineering

Why choose us?

We have been teaching design and engineering courses for more than 30 years and our team has an excellent reputation for their practical knowledge thanks to their extensive work and professional experience. Our courses have consistently high employment rates, so you know that what you learn in your lectures has real-world applications and will serve you well once you enter the workplace.

Relevant design and engineering courses are accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), ensuring you graduate with relevant and sought-after professional skills. The opportunity to undertake a professional placement while on your course is invaluable and enhances your skills and experience by enabling you to take what you’ve learned and apply this knowledge in practice in the design and engineering sector.

Among the companies our students have worked for on placement are Jaguar Land Rover, Kondor, GE, Anglepoise, Princess Yachts and Disney.

One of the highlights for final year students is the Festival of Design & Engineering, which is an opportunity for you to publicly display your work. This isn’t only for students to attend, with a large number of representatives from businesses coming to view your exhibits and talk to you. Some offer jobs to graduates, and even put their final year project into production. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to network and, as it’s also open to the public, it means your friends and family can also find out more about what you’ve been up to during your time at university.
