About this course
This course has alternative study modes. Contact the university to find out how the information below might vary.
This exciting and fascinating engineering degree, awarded by the University of Plymouth, will provide you with the skills and knowledge needed to combine mechanical, electrical, electronic and digital technologies to develop engineering solutions.
You will gain the skills to apply technology to engineering problems and processes, and maintain and manage current technology – sometimes within a multidisciplinary engineering environment. It will encourage you to be forward-thinking and embrace new technologies.
Throughout the programme, you will develop your understanding of, and intellect for, the parameters of engineering industries, the application of project management, and the ethos and skills for career-long professional development through topics including Leadership and Enterprise, Project Management, Professional Development for Contemporary and Future Engineering Sectors and Integrating Technologies for Contemporary and Future Engineering Sectors. You will also undertake an individual engineering project.
By enrolling on this programme, you will become part of SWIoT – the South West Institute of Technology. SWIoT is a unique collaboration between Petroc and a number of prestigious higher and further education partners, designed to provide innovative technical education and deliver a skilled local workforce, economic growth, and prosperity to the South West. We offer a purpose-built, specialist training facility, professionally-equipped with the very latest in industry equipment including high-tech CAD facilities, 3D printing, electronics design and assembly, a fabrication and welding workshop, CNC and manual machining, and a bench fitting workshop.

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?
