Like many of our students every year, you may choose to undertake a year working in industry either in the UK or worldwide as part of your degree. This will provide you with the opportunity to gain vital work experience in a professional environment, boosting your graduate employability prospects. We have links with hundreds of companies in the UK and around the world.
The University is undergoing an Academic Year structural change, commencing in October 2026. As part of this, we are currently instigating curriculum reform across all year parts of our Degree Programmes. We will be seeking re- accreditation in November 2026 to maintain our decades long accredited degree programme.
A UK Engineering Council accredited course is an important mark of assurance that the course meets the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence. An accredited course is an important element for graduates to become a professionally registered engineer. Graduates from an accredited engineering course will have achieved part or all of the underpinning knowledge for later professional registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng).
We hope this website and the invitational visit day will help you with your choice of university and degree.
