Engineering with Business, BEng (Hons), with industry placement

This Engineering with Business degree integrates engineering design and systems with management and entrepreneurship skills, preparing graduates for roles in engineering business development and management. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach, combining core engineering, innovation, strategy, and business sustainability through individual and group projects. Students benefit from industry links via guest lectures, collaborations with Bayes Business School, world-leading research facilities, and optional placement opportunities, enhancing employability in global sectors like aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy.The programme builds foundational knowledge in engineering subjects, mathematics, electronics, and computing in the first year, progressing to specialisations in project management, finance, innovation, and system integration in later years. Assessment includes coursework, examinations, and project reports, with grades weighted towards final years, fostering technical, communication, and ethical skills for future leadership roles.

You will develop a background in an interdisciplinary range of engineering subjects, as well as a firm understanding of management studies and engineering design. The Engineer in Society is an innovative theme across each year. We introduce you to the economic, social and technical context where engineers work, and develop your social responsibility, knowledge, and topical engineering skills. Year 1 Our mostly shared first year offers a foundation in the principles of engineering in mathematics, engineering physics, electronics and computing, as well as building teamwork and communication skills. -The Engineering in Society - Social responsibility (15 credits) -Engineering Design 1 (15 credits) -Principles of interdisciplinary thinking in engineering and business (15 credits) -Electronics - including circuits, digital and analog electronics (15 credits) -Introductory Mathematics and Programming (15 credits) -Engineering Science (15 credits) -Mathematics 1 (15 credits) -Introduction to Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics (15 credits) Year 2 Begin to specialise in key aspects of engineering and business, building on topical areas of engineering, and including project management, finance and accounting, entrepreneurship and innovation management. -The Engineer in Society: Sustainability and Circular Economy (15 credits) -Mathematics 2 (15 credits) -Project Management (15 credits) -Finance and Accounting (15 credits) -Innovation Management (15 credits) -Entrepreneurship (15 credits) -Data Analysis for Engineers (15 credits) -Sensor Systems and Instrumentation (15 credits) Year 3 Deepen your expertise with applied modules in modern engineering business, including system integration, through-life engineering, and strategy in engineering and technology, with case studies across the spectrum of engineering practice. -Individual project (30 credits) -The Engineer in society: Ethical business (15 credits) -Supply Chain Management (15 credits) -Strategy in Engineering and Technology Firms (15 credits) -System Integration (15 credits) -Through Life Engineering (15 credits) -Energy policy, regulations (15 credits)
