Course Overview

Our degree gives you the confidence to not only interact with businesses involved in building services but also with peers from other sectors to solve real-life problems using the pioneering CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) approach. The CDIO approach is an international engineering education model, developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It allows you to learn in a practical, hands-on way to find creative, evaluated solutions to industry-related engineering challenges. We are one of the only handful of universities in the UK to offer CDIO.

We also ensure that there is considerable focus on your employability, and actively encourage work placements with the likes of EDF, Delphi, and Southeast Water to help you on your path into the industry.

Our foundation year option enables you to join the Mechanical Engineering (Building Services) course even if you don’t have the formal qualifications or experience to meet the entry requirements. It equips you with the knowledge to move into formal degree study, setting you up for future success.
