This new Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) top-up programme is ideal if you have a full Level 5 qualification and wish to develop your award to a full Bachelor's degree.
It has been designed to prepare you for a career in an industry where there's a high demand for engineers with a sound knowledge of engineering applications, as well as people who understand the necessary techniques to develop, test and maintain them.
This course is subject to validation with a first intake planned for September 2025.
Applicants will already hold (or be expected to achieve) a full Level 5 qualification in a related subject area.
The BEng (Hons) Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) Top-up will support you to develop the knowledge acquired in your Level 5 studies, getting you up to the standard that employers are demanding when selecting candidates for professional engineering management roles.
Facilities
Our modern Highfields campus features industrial-scale manufacturing, lathe and milling workshops, robotic machinery, fabrication and sheet metal workshops, electrical training bays, CAD and other design software on high end PCs, 3D printers and other design and manufacturing machinery, as well as a popular café/refectory, HE communal spaces and a well-stocked library and learning resource centre.
Jobs you could do
What you could study next
With a BEng (Hons), you could progress to a Master's degree in Engineering or a related discipline, such as an MEng or MSc in Manufacturing Engineering or Engineering Management. Professional registration with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) or a similar body may also be a route worth exploring. Some graduates move into Chartered Engineer status over time, which typically requires further experience and professional development alongside your degree.
