Apprenticeship in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (BEng Hons)
Manufacturing has increased in complexity in recent years, with the increasing importance of new materials and processes, as well as the need to manage extended, integrated supply chains and networks on a global level.
This course has been updated accordingly, in response to this complexity, to enable students to successfully enter this environment.
The Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering programme provides a thorough grounding in Mechanical Engineering and application of this knowledge to manufacturing technology and materials.
You will also study contemporary computer-aided design and manufacture as well as relevant numerical tools.

Further information
-
English and Mathematics level 2 (GCSE A*-C, 4-8 or equivalent) and a level 3 qualification (A level, BTech, Diploma or equivalent) is the usual minimum entry requirement.
-
Students are taught through a series of lectures, tutorials, laboratories and practical sessions. Assessment of progress is made through a combination of laboratory-based practicals, assignments, presentations, exams and individual projects.
Module assessment is often by assignment, or assignment and examination. The final mark for some modules may include one or more pieces of coursework set and completed during the module. Project work is assessed by a written report and presentation.
One of the main parts of the final year will be the final year project. This is a work-based project that will allow students to use the knowledge built up through the course to solve a genuine workplace-engineering problem.
