The School offers a wide variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The undergraduate programmes include both traditional engineering courses in electronic engineering, mechanical engineering and design and are complemented by some highly successful programmes in computer-related fields e.g. Multimedia Technology and Design BSc, Broadcast Media (Design and Technology) BSc and Mobile Computing BSc. The Undergraduate programmes are either 3 year full-time or 4 year thick sandwich. There is flexibility for students to transfer to either of these modes of study. In the sandwich mode students spend the third year in industry. The sandwich programmes are highly recommended as students not only get paid (between £12, 0000 to £20,000), but many come back from their placement year with a job offer from their placement company. There is also a one year enhanced Foundation of Engineering programme for students that do not have the right entry qualifications. This programme is designed to strengthen students in engineering and design subjects enabling students to take up the first year of their chosen degree after successful completion of the Foundations course. There are a number of exciting new programmes starting in September 2007 : BEng / MEng Civil Engineering with Sustainality; BEng / MEng Communications Networks Engineering; MEng Design Engineering and BEng / MEng Space Engineering.The postgraduate programmes again offer both traditional engineering courses in electronic engineering, mechanical engineering and design and are complemented by some highly successful programmes in computer-related fields. There are three modes of study : 1 year full-time, 2- 3 years part-time (attendance for 1 or 2 days a week enabling students to work whilst studying) or 3 – 5 years distance learning (where students can study for a masters at home). A number of very popular programmes recently introduced address the global concerns of energy conservation and environment e.g. Building Services Engineering with Sustainable Energy, Sustainable Electrical power, Sustainable Energy : Technologies and Management. Exciting new programmes commencing September 2007 include MSc Distributed Systems and Grid Computing and MSc Human-Centred Design.Assessment: There are a broad range of assessment methods employed including assignments, individual and group projects, laboratories and examinations in May each year.The School of Engineering and Design is one of the largest and most successful engineering and design Schools in the UK, providing a wide range of exciting, forward-looking undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Recognised as a centre of excellence in engineering and design with a strong focus on modern science and technology, the School has an international reputation in research and prides itself on high quality teaching supported by excellent research facilities. The School’s high reputation has led to extensive and close collaborative links with industry. These links and the sandwich placement scheme have meant that the School’s graduates are highly sought after as employees.The School offers a wide variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
