It will prepare you to become an Engineering Technologist and you can specialise in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
Engineering Technologists are in high demand around the world for their skills and experience in combining engineering theory with the applied and practical components required in a range of industries. With hard work and a responsible attitude, you could set your sights on project management or consultancy roles in your particular fields.
During this hands-on programme, you'll gain skills in management, economics, communications, problem-solving and critical thinking, while developing a deep understanding of the principles and practical application of modern technology in your area of specialisation. You'll have the chance to take part in a significant industry-based project in your final year to gain valuable experience within the workplace.
