Advanced manufacturing plays a crucial role in the evolution of modern industry, bridging the gap between traditional mechanical engineering and Industry 4.0. Today, skilled engineers are essential to design, optimise, and manage the complex, automated systems that will power an efficient and sustainable global economy.
You will study core mechanical engineering principles integrated with intelligent automation systems and digital twin technologies. Emphasis is placed on practical application, allowing you to develop essential skills in rapid prototyping and CAD design using SolidWorks. You will gain hands-on experience with both traditional and cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, including CNC machining and advanced 3D printing. Our School's strong industry partnerships with companies such as Rolls Royce, Siemens, BAE Systems, and Sulzer ensure this course meets the needs of employers and reflects the latest trends in the manufacturing sector. These industry links also contribute to real world project opportunities and a curriculum that is both challenging and relevant.
This means that, once you graduate, you will be fully equipped with the most up-to-date practices, practical experience, and industry relevant knowledge to pursue an exciting career in areas such as automation engineering, manufacturing systems analytics, or digital manufacturing.
