Program Overview
The Engineering (Top-Up) BSc (Hons) is a one-year program that enhances students' knowledge in electronic and mechanical system design. It develops problem-solving skills, analyzes engineering technology applications, and prepares students for careers in manufacturing, automotive, and other engineering sectors. The program is designed for students with prior engineering education and emphasizes practical industry knowledge and skills.
Program Outline
Degree Overview:
The Engineering (Top-Up) BSc (Hons) is a one-year program designed to advance students' knowledge of electronic and mechanical system design, as well as analyzing the applications of engineering technology in new and innovative ways.
- To provide students with a strong foundation in relevant, cutting-edge engineering topics.
Assessment:
Students are assessed through a variety of methods, including:
- Coursework
- Oral presentations
- Group work
- Practical reports
- Critical reviews
- End-of-module exams
Teaching:
- The course is delivered on one day per week, allowing students to be flexible with their studies and fit them in around their work and personal life.
- The course has a high practical industry focus, which allows students to advance their understanding of engineering concepts while developing their confidence and theoretical knowledge.
- Students will examine the use of computer simulations to build physical systems, thus reducing the need for wastage of failed or flawed products while improving the speed and sustainability of the design and manufacturing processes.
Careers:
This course will enable students to enter careers in a number of engineering sectors, such as:
- Manufacturing
- Chemical/pharmaceutical
- Automotive
- Civil Students will also be able to go into job roles in scientific writing and journalism, marketing, and sales.
Other:
- The course is a progression course, meaning it is designed for students who have already completed an HND or a Foundation Degree or an equivalent qualification in Engineering.
- Students should be able to demonstrate prior knowledge of electronic and mechanical engineering to an equivalent of level 5 (Year 2 of a UK Bachelor’s degree).
- Qualifications in Civil Engineering are not accepted.
- The course includes a substantial major project, which is normally industrially based.
- Students will investigate the development and application of lean manufacturing to production routes while still ensuring the quality of products remains high.
- Students will be immersed in the multidisciplinary field of engineering by using computer simulation tools and mechanical and embedded system design.
- The course has a high employability rate for its students.
