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.

It also allows you to get involved in solving problems facing businesses in the real world, using the pioneering ‘Concept, Design, Implementation and Operation’ (CIDO) 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 only a 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.

Our foundation year option enables you to join the General Engineering course even if you don’t have the formal qualifications or experience to meet the entry requirements. It equips you with the knowledge to move into formal degree study, setting you up for future success.
