This course is structured around the engineering capabilities that graduates require, rather than traditional academic sub-disciplines. Join a vibrant and active research community.
What you'll do
- Join different engineering clubs, learn new skills, enter international competitions and bond with staff and fellow students.
- This course offers an optional 48-week sandwich placement in industry between Year 2 and Year 3.
- Our Engineering Innovation Centre enables you to work on real-world projects with commercial partners in state-of-the-art facilities.
Module overview
Our Manufacturing Engineering degree is based on mechanical engineering fundamentals combined with specialist modules in Automated Production and Advanced Manufacturing.
In addition to fundamental elements such as mechanics, materials, CAD/CAE/CAM and operations management, you’ll also develop skills in user needs and business plan development.
You’ll develop project work which presents an opportunity to integrate learning across the course.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
