Design Engineering

This in-depth course aims to develop high-calibre, innovative design engineers who can lead complex projects, and develop new products, processes and services that are vital to the needs of modern society.

After a broad, common first year, you can start to explore design methodology and professional practice in more depth.

Unique design-focussed units in the first two years of this course provide essential skills in problem definition, conceptual design, detail design, analysis and manufacturing/construction processes.

In the final years of study, you can undertake a range of advanced technical units from a range of engineering subjects. This gives you the chance to gain further technical expertise and specialist knowledge within engineering disciplines as well as a broader learning experience in other subjects, relevant to the field of modern-day, multi-disciplinary design engineering.

A group-based design project forms a major component of your final year of study.
