Course Overview

As with all our Engineering degree courses, our General Engineering course isn’t just designed to teach you the practical and technical aspects of the subject.

General Engineering would allow you to pick up important skills from Mechanical, Basic Electronics, and Systems engineering to apply in your field of interest. It also allows you to get involved in solving problems facing businesses in the real world, using the pioneering ‘Concept, Design, Implementation and Operation’ (CDIO) approach.

CDIO is an international engineering education model, developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It allows you to learn in a practical, hands-on way to find creative, evaluated solutions to industry-related engineering challenges. We are one of the only handful of universities in the UK to offer CDIO.

You will gain key employability skills and be encouraged to take up placements, helping you to go straight into employment upon completion of your studies.

General Engineers can walk into any engineering industry and adapt their learning to innovate, research, and develop products and solutions. You could end up researching, designing, and testing machines, trainers, protective equipment, and sporting equipment to name a few, but the opportunities are endless.
