About this course
This course has alternative study modes. Contact the university to find out how the information below might vary.
**The top-up degree validated by the TEC Partnership will enable current and previous Higher National Diploma (HND) Engineering students the ability to progress to level 6 studies in Mechanical Engineering at the Grimsby Institute.**
This programme will enable students to pursue professional careers in Mechanical Engineering at a graduate level which requires the exercise of professional judgement, personal responsibility and initiative, and the ability to make engineering decisions in conformance with professional Engineering standards.
The programme will equip students with analytical skills to systematically employ engineering principles to produce original analysis of solutions using software applications, specific to a Mechanical Engineering context.
Students will carry out independent research and manage projects in a relevant engineering context. They will use testing/validation through experimental development to enable them to become acquainted with the use of the latest technologies.
This programme ultimately prepares students for post-graduate study and/or a career or employment in the respective Engineering discipline. Aspirations of students are also boosted by significant growth of engineering job vacancies, both locally and nationally which is also echoed by recent data from the Labour Market Intelligence (LMI).
Modules
Compulsory Modules:
• Engineering Project/Dissertation
Core Modules:
• Engineering Management
• Applications of Finite Element Analysis
• Thermo-Fluids and Acoustics
Optional Module(s):

Assessment methods
The assessment approach is designed to ensure the student's breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding will be assessed. The methods used will be a combination of written, visual and spoken forms associated with assessments, such as: assignments/essays, exams, reports, presentations, and posters, as these will allow primary or secondary research to be applied. Visual assessments will use the poster method, whereas oral assessments will use either the presentation or demonstration method.

Post-six month graduation stats:
This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.
It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
