Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Engineering Management with Foundation Year - (Placement Year) University of East London - Docklands Campus, UK

First, we prepare you for your degree during the Foundation year, bringing you up to speed with academic skills and a firm grounding in the subject. Then you can go on to do the full undergraduate degree.

This course will enable you to deepen your knowledge and understanding in core engineering-related disciplines. Students will also acquire research and business skills demanded by industry and the professional accrediting bodies, such as IMechE, IET, iED (Institution of Engineering Designers) and CSD (Chartered Society of Designers).

Alongside traditional engineering modules, the course makes use of the expertise the University has in delivering management related modules. This ensures students are prepared for the increasing demands in the industry for engineers with management skills. On completion of the course, students will be qualified to take leading roles in technical and project management positions.  

This is a unique course that will give you the opportunity to develop specialised skills, knowledge and the intellectual ability to work as an engineer, designer or researcher in your preferred field.

The BEng in Engineering enables students to identify the route they would like to follow and gain the appropriate qualification to pursue it. Students can continue their studies through courses in MEng in Engineering Design, Engineering Management or General Engineering.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

You will benefit from UEL's superb links with major engineering firms in the area including Ford Motor Company, Crossrail and Canary Wharf Contractors. These employers host visits and offer work placements to students studying this course.

Studying on the BEng/MEng Engineering programme you will gain real-world experience working on industrially relevant projects. You will also have the option to add a year-long placement to your course.

We regularly enter a range of national and international competitions designed for undergraduates, such as IMechE Design Challenge, Formula Students and Shell Eco-Marathon. This builds teamwork skills and also gives you an appreciation of the real-life technical, financial and time constraints encountered by engineers.

We also run regular trips to exhibitions such as the Engineering Design Show and Advanced Engineering UK to help students keep up with the latest industry developments.
