Engineering (Industrial Engineering)

We are in unprecedented times. Industry 4.0 has given rise to the need for professionals with the technical and management expertise to develop and manage engineering and business systems.

This Industrial Engineering programme will empower you with the versatility, flexibility and adaptability to soar and succeed in this exciting and fast-moving environment.

Industrial engineers optimise complex processes, organisations and systems or even create them to achieve higher efficiency by saving time, money or effort, and to monitor quality and increase productivity.

Industrial Engineering overlaps with operations research, management science and ergonomics. It is a human-oriented discipline accommodating the viewpoints and motives of users at all levels so ideal for those who are both technical and people focused.

This course at Blackpool and The Fylde College is delivered as part of the Lancashire & Cumbria Institute of Technology, meaning you'll benefit from industry-focused technical training designed with leading employers.
