Course Overview
Mechanical engineering deals with the design, development, installation, operation and maintenance of anything that has moving parts. Jobs are available in a vast array of sectors.
A mechanical engineering degree is a combination of mathematics, science, technology, business and management. This course is designed to ensure graduates are able to solve problems, manage workloads, communicate with a range of personnel, work in multidisciplinary teams, develop decision making abilities as well as ICT capabilities.
General Eligibility
48 UCAS points.
Your Level 3 subjects must include a relevant subject; for instance, A-level Mathematics or BTEC Extended Diploma in Engineering.
You should also have five GCSEs at grade C or above or grade 4 to 9 (or equivalent) including English, Mathematics and Science.
You may be required to attend an interview, provide a portfolio of work and take a diagnostic assessment. If the diagnostic assessment shows that you need additional mathematics tuition, you'll be required to take an additional module (Foundation Principles 0: ATT3037 ). This will help develop your understanding of the mathematics underpinning engineering and support you to succeed during your studies and future career.
