Aston University, Birmingham

Our BEng Design Engineering course aims to bridge the gap between mechanical engineering and product design, for students who wish to incorporate additional design-led modules within a technical mechanical engineering context.As a design engineer you can expect to work in taking concepts from initial ideas to commercial reality over a range of sectors including consumer products, the automotive sector and industrial systems. Our teaching is innovative, with the curriculum based on a hands-on teaching framework called CDIO - Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate. This enables you to apply real-world skills as you learn, enabling you to maximise your learning. Learn in our state-of-the-art facilities, with advanced 3D printing facilitates and engine test laboratories with specialist equipment designed for engineering students. Our close links with industry and the broad basis of our degree programmes ensure our students’ attractiveness to a wide range of employers and enhance our graduate employment record. Graduate opportunities exist in the fields of research, development and design, automotive engineering, manufacturing systems engineering, power generation, advanced technology and computer-aided design, accountancy, management, marketing, Navy, Army and RAF Officer training.Key course benefits:- Accredited by both the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)- 1st for graduate prospects (General Engineering) (Complete University Guide 2022) - Ranked 13th overall in the UK for General Engineering (Guardian University Guide, 2022)- Gain specialist knowledge and skills to kickstart your career in design engineering
