About this course
One of only a few Engineering Management courses in the UK, our Engineering Management degree is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). It is concerned with the management of engineering within a business context and considers the problem solving of engineering, blended with planning, management and organisational elements of companies, taking projects from idea to delivery.
Engineering companies involve complex chains of materials and supplies procurement, tiered suppliers, production processes and customer delivery, alongside the technical expertise of the different engineering disciplines. Business models and frameworks apply equally to engineering disciplines as well as other commercial sectors, with the management of legal and contractual requirements, and human resource commitments.
Our Engineering Management course provides graduates with an understanding of basic engineering sciences and manufacturing processes. This allows the development of a solid foundation in engineering and technology vocabulary and understanding.
This material is partnered with a broad range of business strategy, business organisation, human management, resource management and project planning modules, which provide graduates with the skills to manage, across a range of engineering and technology disciplines. The priority is to interface and integrate these key activities with the business organisation and financial management of companies large and small, national and global.
Modules
For a full list of areas studied, see the 'What You'll Study' section of the course page on our website.
Assessment methods
Lecture based modules are assessed by a combination of coursework and formal examinations taken at the end of each semester.
Project module assessments require written reports and technical presentations, preparing you for your subsequent career.
The proportion of coursework assessment is approximately 30% to 50% depending on degree course, semester/year and optional modules.

Extra funding
All of our courses have an established reputation with employers in industry. Companies, therefore, target the School with placement year opportunities and a number of companies offer sponsorship, for which there is intense competition. Students seeking sponsorship are urged to consult publications such as Career Research and Development (CRAC) and Engineering Opportunities.
Students studying many of our Engineering degree courses, and are intending to take up a career in the Armed Forces or Civil Service, may be eligible for financial support under the Defence STEM Undergraduate Scheme.

What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
Graduates are in significant demand, so unemployment rates are well below the national graduate average and starting salaries are well above average. Much the most common industries for these graduates are now vehicle manufacture - there are not enough people with these degrees to go round and so the big employers tend to take the lion's share at the moment. But pretty much anywhere there is manufacturing, there are production engineers. Bear in mind that a lot of courses are four years long, and lead to an MEng qualification — this is necessary if you want to become a Chartered Engineer.
What about your long term prospects?
Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.

Note: this data only looks at employees (and not those who are self-employed or also studying) and covers a broad sample of graduates and the various paths they've taken, which might not always be a direct result of their degree.
