This degree has been developed to meet the demand for skilled, professionally competent design engineers.

Cutting-edge

With access to cutting-edge facilities (including 3D designsimulation and analysis tools, modern manufacturing and technical workshops, and advanced 3D prototyping facilities), you’ll develop expert technical knowledge and apply them to innovative and creative design solutions.

Engineering and design principles

You’ll discover how to use the latest modelling, rendering and simulation tools to create and evaluate your own designs, as well as gaining an in-depth practical understanding of the engineering underlying the product development process. Designed to develop your abilities in this exciting area, the course content integrates the latest engineering technology (including mechanical, electronics and artificial intelligence tools), design innovation, market awareness and the skills needed to use advanced product development tools.

Solid foundation

After building a solid foundation of knowledge in year one, you’ll develop your skills to solve complex engineering and design problems in year two. In year three you’ll have the opportunity to complete a career-enhancing 30-week work placement. In your final year you’ll display your final design project at our annual Festival of Design & Engineering, which is open to business and the public.

When you graduate, you’ll be equipped to take on a range of design and engineering roles across sectors as diverse as the aerospace and automotive industry through to consumer electronics and domestic products design.
