Employ talented engineering students
Our Faculty ranks highly in the UK and has excellent graduate employment rates. We develop courses in consultation with industry, equipping our students with the transferable skills needed for the workplace.
Our students have the technical ability, creativity and teamwork experience needed by practising engineers. Students learn problem solving, decision making and communication skills during project-based work. We nurture innovation by encouraging students to take ideas from concept through to end product.
The first two years of our courses provide a breadth of theoretical and practical knowledge. Our learning environment prepares students to make an immediate contribution to your company. They have experience in the areas of:
- design and innovation
- operations and productions
- electronic and electrical systems
- energy and the environment
