Our course develops your understanding of the sciences and disciplines relating to manufacturing. You’ll study engineering, manufacturing and management to understand their role in production processes.

We draw on our links with industry to build your knowledge of the integrated systems, processes and technologies used in advanced manufacturing. Learning about the latest engineering developments will inspire you to explore low-carbon and sustainable ways to produce high-quality products.

You’ll translate ideas into practice through Group and individual projects, where you'll to take imaginative approaches to solve complex engineering problems. You could explore new business or engineering technologies in areas such as aerospace, automotive, sports equipment, medical devices, or data management.

In your last two years, you'll study specialist units including Business processes, Data analytics and Artificial intelligence, and Advanced manufacturing technology. You'll also be able to choose advanced optional units to decide what topics you want to learn in more depth. This, followed by an individual project, allows you to develop and apply your knowledge in areas that interest you most. When you graduate, you'll understand how to design, operate and control manufacturing systems.
