    Course Summary

    A BEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering from the University of Derby is a great way to qualify yourself to take up a career as a Mechanical Engineer. Mechanical Engineering graduates are in high demand, needed in great numbers by many industries all over the world. Better still, your UK qualifications will be highly sought-after even very far afield.

    You’ll learn a wide range of basic engineering skills before choosing specialty training in fields like Management, Applied Mathematics, Engineering Science or Advanced Manufacturing and Technologies. You’ll have everything you need to become a true multidisciplinary expert in your field.

    This program incorporates an optional year in paid industrial placement, making it a 4 year degree. The industrial placement year is especially desirable to employers, as they will know that you have practical, real world experience in your specialty, and will already know most of the advanced skills you’ll need to thrive in this exciting field.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
