Degree apprenticeships provide an alternative route to traditional higher education – combining work with college and university study.
The Applied Mechanical Engineering Top-Up can enhance your existing engineering skills and qualifications and in turn, your career.
Qualified mechanical engineers are in great demand and this honours degree could open up a wide range of careers in many engineering disciplines and prepare you to apply for further postgraduate study. This course is aimed at students who have chosen a more vocational route and have a Foundation Degree, DipHE, HND or equivalent in engineering.
We aim to help you build upon and ‘top up’ your previous qualification and experience with activity-led, hands-on learning giving you the opportunity to further develop your engineering and mathematical knowledge, understanding, management and analysis skills in a professional manner to problem solve engineering problems. You will have the chance to practice your learning through defining, analysing and solving case studies and a research inspired individual project.
