About this course
The BEng Hons Engineering Management is a four-year, professionally accredited engineering course that is designed to equip you with a very valuable blend of engineering and management skills.
Engineering Management graduates play a key role in design and manufacture where the challenges include the development of more efficient and effective manufacturing systems and processes, the creation of innovative products, global sustainability and the building of new business models to support high-value manufacturing.
This course provides you with a broad-based education including studies in engineering technology and materials, manufacturing systems and processes, product and system design, complemented by studies in business and management. It develops the multi-disciplinary and soft skills that are increasingly being demanded in today’s dynamic and resource conscious environment.
This course has been developed to satisfy industry demand for professional engineers who possess business and management skills combined with engineering expertise.
Engineering Management graduates are in high demand from employers, not only for a wide range of roles in industry, but also in utilities, transportation and consultancy.

Production and manufacturing engineering
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.
