This part-time/flexible learning BEng Engineering course is designed for practicing engineers who are already qualified to HND, FdEng, FdSc or degree level who want to gain the academic qualifications necessary to achieve Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status. Applicants for this programme must be employed in a relevant role in the Engineering industry. 

You can cover subjects at BEng level such as advanced stress and vibration, business development, manufacturing operations, mechatronics and computational engineering. Should you choose to go on to the MEng level your knowledge will be deepened and broadened through subjects such as project management, design management, life cycle analysis, control system design and materials failure and prevention. 

This is an incredibly flexible way to study, with a number of core units complemented by optional units, allowing you to tailor your course to suit the needs of your employer and your long-term career plans. We also offer an Integrated Masters (MEng) which requires a further 18 months study.

Subjects are taught by flexible learning, and you will be supported throughout your study with discussion forums. Academic tutorial attendance is required typically three times for each unit of study. Subjects are assessed through a combination of coursework and examinations which will be submitted electronically.
