Entry requirements, contact hours and course costs

The part-time/flexible learning BEng and MEng Engineering courses are designed for practicing engineers already qualified to HND, FdEng, or FdSc level who want to gain the academic qualifications necessary to achieve Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status through the BEng route, or Chartered Engineer (CEng) status through the MEng route. Applicants for these programmes must be employed in a relevant role in the engineering industry.

Core elements

At BEng level, you will cover core elements of engineering such as advanced stress and vibration, business development, manufacturing operations, mechatronics and computational engineering. At the MEng level, your knowledge is deepened and broadened through subjects such as project management, design management, life cycle management, control system design and failure analysis and prevention.

Flexible study

This is an incredibly flexible way to study, with a number of core units complemented by option units, allowing you to tailor your course to suit the needs of your employer and your longterm career plans.

Assessment methods

Subjects are taught by flexible learning, and you will be supported throughout your study with discussion forums and supervision journals. Academic tutorial attendance is required typically three times for each unit of study. This course cannot be studied through distance learning alone. Subjects are assessed through a combination of coursework and examinations.
