Our General Engineering programmes aim to develop graduates with the skills and knowledge to become rounded engineers with diverse experiences in a number of engineering fields, able to adapt to new challenges and deliver sustainable solutions for modern society. The programme includes bespoke modules designed for General Engineering programmes, as well as specialist modules aligning to the School's wider engineering portfolio.The General Engineering suite of programmes consists of a CertHE, DipHE, and BEng (Hons) General Engineering. Students may choose to apply to study from one year and work towards a CertHE through to the three years and work towards a BEng (Hons). Transfer between the programmes is also possible during your studies. A foundation year entry route is also available for those who don't meet the standard entry requirements for the programmes.Assessment on the programme is designed to measure and assess engineering technical and analytical skills as well as professional soft skills including oral and written communication, team working, long-life learning, problem-solving, project management, and planning and organisation.Coursework assignments are used in a number of modules where students are required to work on their own or in small groups. They are designed to enable students to develop and show their understanding of the module content. Oral presentations are often included as part of coursework to provide opportunities for developing essential communication skills. The programme also includes online, time constrained assessments (TCAs).Students are expected to complete an individual project in their final year of the degree course, providing an excellent opportunity to pull together every aspect of their development during the course.This programme has two different placement opportunities, depending on the interests of each student. The sandwich option provides you with the opportunity to either spend a year in industry or a year in research.For either opportunity, you are encouraged to obtain placements independently, however tutors may provide support and advice to those who require it during this process. While undertaking placements, you are responsible for your own travel, living, and accommodation costs.
