Course Description

MEng Hons Engineering Management is a five-year, fully CEng accredited, engineering course that is designed to equip you with a valuable blend of engineering and business skills. You will study a wide range of subjects that explore topics such as engineering technology and materials, manufacturing systems and processes, new product design and mechanical engineering, as well as studies in business and management.

MEng Engineering Management graduates work in a wide range of companies and positions to manage the introduction of advanced technologies and production systems, innovative design methods and products, and to lead the way in how our scarce, valuable resources are best used.
