About this course
**OVERVIEW**
The BEng (Hons) Engineering Management degree is a two year top-up degree that is designed to enable graduates to pursue an engineering career in a continuous improvement, planning, supervisory or project management role by building on their previous qualifications and experience. It will develop your technological problem-solving skills and your organisational, planning and management abilities to enable you to successfully oversee complex engineering projects from start to finish.
**PRACTICAL FOCUS**
The degree is significantly practically-orientated, focusing on planning and the continuous improvement of engineering applications. You will develop your team working skills while undertaking a wide range of practical exercises. Work-based learning is embedded in both years of this top-up degree.
**CAREER PROSPECTS**
Careers include quality assurance and control, operations and maintenance management, facilities, health and safety, teaching and environmental management in roles such as project engineer. Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement are key growth areas in many industrial sectors.
**Jobs**
Our graduates work for companies including Rolls-Royce, Raytheon, Cummins, Thales, and BAE Systems. Others have completed further training and study and begun careers in education as secondary school teachers and lecturers in colleges and universities.
**Further Study**
Completing the BEng (Hons) will allow progression to a taught master's degree. Some of our graduates have progressed to undertake a one-year teaching qualification (PGDE/QTS).
Modules
Throughout the course, a variety of topics will be covered which include: advanced project management, engineering and change management, quality improvement methodologies, prototyping and product testing, industrial troubleshooting, operations management, renewable energy and health and safety. A major element of your final year focuses on group and individual industrial projects where you investigate a topic of interest and undertake industry visits to determine the validity of your project proposal.
Assessment methods
A variety of assessment approaches are utilised throughout the course such as examination, written coursework, portfolio and presentations.

Top job areas of graduates
Very few students study this subject, so there isn't a lot of information available on what graduates do when they finish - bear that in mind when you look at the stats above. Most graduates get jobs in engineering or management, but if you would like to find out more specifically about the prospects for your chosen course, it might be a good idea to go on an open day and talk to tutors about what previous graduates went on to do.
