About this course
Aimed at anyone who wants to top up their Level 5 qualification (perhaps a HND) in Engineering to a full degree.
Attractive elements of the course include access to industry-standard practical rigs in heat pumps, carbon capture systems, engineering control, fluid properties, industry 4.0, and more. Course is aimed to address the needs of local industries, so employers looking to upskill employees might be interested. Candidates achieve a more sought-after BEng rather than a BSc. They would also gain IEng accreditation through the engineering council as a bonus.
Modules
Research project – a comprehensive report covering a wide range of engineering disciplines. You will cover ethics, risk, health and safety, as well as efficiencies, optimisation, design, and problem-solving skills.
Mathematical methods and fluid mechanics – a module with problem-solving in areas requiring a mathematical approach.
Net zero – includes practical and theoretical work on heat pumps, heat recovery systems, carbon capture methods, and renewable energy generation.
Advanced electrical principles – includes study of electrical transmission, signal processing, and complex waveforms.
Condition monitoring – methods, optimisation, data analysis, simulations and computer-based project work involved with this module
Assessment methods
Wider skills development include improving communication skills with professional document writing, presentations, group work, and a viva. The course is also designed to enhance problem-solving and critical thinking skills in engineering by applying theory to real-world examples. Students also gain technical knowledge in core areas of engineering such as mechanical and electrical problem analysis, research skills, and professional writing skills. Computer-based study is also included, which enables students to develop their increasingly important digital skills within the engineering sector and beyond. Increase confidence in a wide range of engineering disciplines.
Students will learn by hands-on practical work, in which they apply their knowledge to real-world problems. They will put together documents with detailed explanations of the subject matter and will employ research skills to put together a large-scale report covering many aspects of engineering. They will consolidate understanding with the use of computer software, both with simulations and with numerical problem-solving. Learning by attempting lots of practice questions and ongoing revision of material will be necessary for the examination aspect of assessment, and for preparation for the viva.

This information comes from the National Student Survey, an annual student survey of final-year students. You can use this to see how satisfied students studying this subject area at this university, are (not the individual course).
This is the percentage of final-year students at this university who were "definitely" or "mostly" satisfied with their course. We've analysed this figure against other universities so you can see whether this is high, medium or low.

This information is from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), for undergraduate students only.
You can use this to get an idea of who you might share a lecture with and how they progressed in this subject, here. It's also worth comparing typical A-level subjects and grades students achieved with the current course entry requirements; similarities or differences here could indicate how flexible (or not) a university might be.

Post-six month graduation stats:
This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.
It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
