Manufacturing Engineering is the discipline of turning raw materials into new products, and the research and development of new manufacturing processes, machines, tools and equipment.
Our Manufacturing Engineering course has been developed to provide industry with graduates possessing a wide range of professional engineering knowledge and skills necessary to overcome the modern manufacturing and production challenges.
Manufacturing engineers manufacture products to the correct specification, in the right quantity, as efficiently as possible, anywhere in the world. The course is broad based and allows you to gain a detailed knowledge of manufacturing technologies and processes, combined with technology management, business organisation and human resource management skills.
Throughout the courses, skills are developed, and our graduates are ideally placed to develop manufacturing engineering career roles across many different industrial sectors.
This course provides an excellent platform for graduates wishing to register with the Engineering Council as an Incorporated Engineer or to progress to Chartered Engineer status after further academic learning. The transferable skills which graduates develop on our degree should also suit them to employment and career routes in a wide variety of professions.
**What's the difference between MEng and BEng?**
The structure of the first two years are common between the BEng and MEng and provide you with a core of manufacturing technologies and processes combined with manufacturing management and organisation, supported by materials engineering and engineering science. The application of manufacturing technologies and the solution of industrial problems is a strong theme throughout the courses.
The MEng structure is distinct from the BEng course in the third and fourth academic years, providing enhanced opportunities to study your chosen specialist subjects in depth. In addition, MEng students follow extra modules in practical business management and advanced manufacturing processes.
Students studying on the BEng course may have the opportunity to change to the MEng course if their performance in the first and second year is sufficiently strong.
