Program Description Considered an art by many, engineering is a combination of science and technology that is concerned with solving complex problems, such as machinery, infrastructure, design and many more. Practitioners of this discipline are capable of working on significant global issues such as the effects of climate change or improving city infrastructure. Engineering allows students to combine creativity with precision on daily basis. This qualification can offer students broad and diverse career options, including molecular, transport, power, optical, vehicle and web engineering to name a few. Engineering is an exciting subject that can lead students to frequent travel, passion projects and a fulfilling career. Alongside possible international opportunities, students get the chance to conduct critical research with the department's experienced staff, learn from skilled guest visitors and take part in an invaluable placement year. The degree level of this course offers students the option to undertake a Professional Enhancement Year or International Enhancement Year. If they wish to do so, students can opt to take the Professional Enhancement Year module or the International Enhancement Year module which both typically run for a full academic year between years 2 and 3 of the course. Students are able to progress onto the relevant module if they have successfully completed the first two years of the course (i.e. having accumulated 240 credits) and provided that they confirm their interest in undertaking this option before the end of second year, typically in August. While the Professional Enhancement Year and International Enhancement Year modules students undertake are non-credit bearing but do not incur any additional tuition fees, if successfully completed, these modules will appear on the final academic transcript. In addition, if students complete this year, they will also gain an enhanced degree award title as the additional suffix of “With Professional Enhancement” if they've gone on a work placement and “With International Enhancement” if they've gone on a study abroad program will be added. Students who complete a work placement will be assessed by a report and a portfolio. The Talent Team can provide students with a wide range of support services in order to help them apply for a placement opportunity. Please note that placement or study abroad opportunities are not guaranteed and that all such opportunities may be subject to additional costs (e.g. travel, visas and accommodation etc.), competitive application, availability and/or meeting any applicable visa requirements.
