This course can enhance your existing engineering skills and qualifications and in turn, your career. Qualified mechanical engineers are in great demand and this honours degree could open up a wide range of careers in many engineering disciplines and prepare you to apply for further postgraduate study. This course is aimed at students who have chosen a more vocational route and have a Foundation Degree, DipHE, HND or equivalent in engineering.  This course aim to help you build upon and ‘top up’ your previous qualification and experience with activity-led, hands-on learning giving you the opportunity to further develop your engineering and mathematical knowledge, understanding, management and analysis skills in a professional manner to problem solve engineering problems. You will have the chance to practice your learning through defining, analysing and solving case studies and a research inspired individual project. In this course you should learn and develop a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical, materials and mathematical (analytical) sciences; approaches to design and product lifecycle; and managerial procedures that provide a basis for working professionally and effectively. The top-up degree is composed of a number of linked modules that are delivered over the academic year. A major component of the degree is the individual project, which is bespoke in design and allows you to put into practice and further develop the skills that they have learned in the modules.  The individual project is practical in nature and based on a research inspired engineering problem with a professional approach.
