The course aims to provide a good foundation for a professional career in engineering. The programme is delivered in conjunction with the University of Wolverhampton and successful completion can be followed by a top-up to an Honours Degree in Engineering.
The course is suitable for electrical/electronic students and mechanical students as it has a blend of both. The course gives access to study at level six in Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics. The courses all give access to the Institute of Mechanical Engineers.
