Mechanical Engineering Course BSc (Eng)

1. Overview

BSc (Eng) Mechanical Engineering

This part-time mechanical engineering course has been designed to enable engineers in employment to build upon their engineering knowledge, and gain a degree and Incorporated Engineer status.

If you have a HND engineering-related qualification and are committed to developing your career, this course will provide you with the knowledge and skills that industry and commerce needs. The course will enable you to develop into a highly competent professional engineer who is able to develop, manage, operate and maintain complex engineering processes and systems.

2. What you will study

Each stage of the course is split into ‘a' and ‘b' sections which are delivered in alternate years, therefore, each stage takes two years to complete. You will attend classes two evenings per week and will benefit from small practical classes and tutorial groups led by staff with experience in both industry and the academic environment.
