Push the boundaries of innovation
Professionally qualified engineers now rank as one of the highest paid professions, and with trained engineers in short supply, it’s a skill set which is in high demand from employers.
Our engineering qualifications are accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining (IOM3), Institution of Engineering Designers (IED), the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
If you already have an undergraduate degree in another subject and live in England, you may even be eligible for a Part-Time Tuition Fee Loan as a payment option towards your degree in Engineering. More details can be found in the relevant qualification page or you can contact us for more information.
