Design Engineering

About this programme

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.An industry led group-based design project forms a major component of your penultimate year of study, and in the final year you will undertake an in-depth individual research project.
