This degree was designed in collaboration with BAE Systems, to study a broad range of topics that lay the foundation for a successful engineering career. Core areas include mechanics, where you'll explore the principles of motion, forces, and energy, and thermodynamics, which explores heat transfer and energy systems. You'll also study materials science, learning how different materials behave and how they can be used in design. Fluid mechanics and control systems are essential for understanding how machines interact with fluids and automated processes. The programme covers advanced manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing and robotics, alongside computer-aided design (CAD) for creating precise technical drawings and prototypes.

Additionally, you'll develop your skills in mathematics and engineering analysis, equipping you to solve complex technical problems. In between years two and three of this degree, you will have the option of taking a 12 week paid internship with BAE Systems (Barrow), as part of the BAE Systems Scholarship. If chosen, this is an excellent opportunity to apply your learning to the world of work, gain industrial training and develop connections within the industry.
