Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering (Top-up)
About this course
The BEng (Hons) Top-up Degree in Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering offers a progression route from Level 5 FdEng or HND qualifications in an appropriate Engineering discipline. This programme has been developed and successfully delivered to meet the needs of key employers within the North East region along with national and inter-national businesses. This course aims to develop under-graduates and industry professionals with higher level skills, contributing to the region's competitiveness and to shorten the skills gap of future engineers both nationally and internationally. This course is designed to build upon previous knowledge and experience to a Bachelor’s Degree level, providing an excellent balance of academic and industrial knowledge. The BEng (Hons) Degree in Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering at Newcastle College is designed to enrich your engineering journey by enhancing and developing new skills, by teaching advance engineering principles in a range of applied mechanical applications, mechanical systems and processes, modelling and analysis and product development. This BEng (Hons) Top-up degree will provide practical experience including destructive and non-destructive testing, finite element analysis and fracture mechanics. A degree in mechanical manufacturing engineering opens many industry doors and you can choose from varied career options in a wide range of industries, such as design, manufacturing, military services, aerospace, automotive, rail, control, renewables energies, subsea applications and specialist measurement techniques. Our graduates work in diverse engineering companies such as the NHS, Drager Safety, Gates Power, Rolls Royce, The Reece Group, Spincraft, Quick Hydraulics, Transmission Dynamics and many more. Academic progression is available through an appropriate Masters Degree.
