Course summary

OVERVIEW

Now is the time to get into engineering. With around a fifth of the UK’s current workforce set to retire by 2026, hundreds of thousands of skilled new workers are needed in the coming years to fill the gap. To become part of the solution and make your mark in this field, our electromechanical engineering degree will provide you with the essential knowledge and skills to start your career.

You will start by learning the fundamentals of all engineering disciplines – essential maths, mechanical and electrical science, electronics, design and programming – then how to apply those concepts and skills to solving contemporary engineering problems, designing new products and developing innovative new manufacturing solutions. Our facilities are totally up-to-date for Industry 4.0, while the hardware and software is the same used in industry, so you will be familiar with it all when you start your career.

On graduation, you will be an expert in engineering disciplines, in the use of simulation software and computer control of automated operations, ready for industry. We also make sure you are skilled in independent learning, so you can keep pace with developing new technologies throughout your career.
