The information on this page is for 2024-25 entry and should be used as guidance for 2025-26 entry. Please keep checking back on this course page to see our latest updates. Our main study themes are: Science and Technology: the course aims to provide essential underpinning science and technology necessary for today’s engineer. Design and Manufacture: the innovative resolution of design and manufacture problems focused on commercially viable solutions. Manufacturing Analysis: on successful completion you should have learnt to use industry-standard software to model, analyse and validate process and systems. Sustainability: the course aims to give an understanding of the need for ethical approaches in manufacturing industries and protecting the environment with respect to manufacturing engineering processes and management. Practical: opportunities to investigate and analyse using laboratory, workshop and computer-based techniques. You will also have the chance to apply your learning to real, ‘live’ industrial projects throughout the Manufacturing Engineering degree course as part of the ‘Faculty on the Factory Floor’ initiative, a remit of the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering. Year One In the first year, the curriculum allows you to gain a broad grounding in the discipline where you will develop knowledge and skills to do with quality and metrology, manufacturing and electrical science, engineering materials and manufacturing technology, among others. Modules Engineering Materials and Manufacturing Technology Mechanical Science and Mathematics Part-assembly Manufacturing Project Quality and Metrology Manufacturing Electrical Science Quality and Metrology Part-Assembly Extension Project Year Two In year two, you will develop more advanced knowledge and skills to do with: automation and robotics, design and computer-assisted manufacturing, and design principles for manufacturing, amongst others. Placement Year There’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement* can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final year of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future. If you choose to do a work placement year, you will pay a reduced tuition fee* of £1,250. For more information, please go to the fees and funding section. During this time, you will receive guidance from your employer or partner institution, along with your assigned academic mentor who will ensure you have the support you need to complete your placement. Final Year In year three, you will develop more advanced knowledge and skills to do with: supply chains and logistics, lean systems and production control, and engineering materials and manufacturing technology, amongst others. Modules Lean Systems and Production Control Advanced Manufacturing Systems Project Individual Manufacturing Engineering Project Proposal and Professional Engineering Strategic Analysis and Supply Chain Management in Manufacturing New Product Development Project Individual Manufacturing Engineering Project Additional Year The additional fourth-year master's option will deepen your knowledge and expertise.
