3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, a cyber physical age, will be realised over the next 20 years.
This course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to be at the forefront of these exciting developments and is delivered in partnership with WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group), renowned worldwide for its innovative links between academia and industry.
All Engineering students at Warwick develop an in-depth understanding of the classical principles of Engineering by following a general engineering programme for the first year. You can then specialise in Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering, where you will learn and develop state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies that graduates find directly applicable in industry.
You may choose to take an intercalated year in industry, research or study abroadLink opens in a new window between years two and three (BEng and MEng) or between years three and four (MEng only). If you choose to take an intercalated year this will be reflected in your degree title and add a year to your degree programme.
1. Industrial Placements and Internships
Students have the opportunity to undertake year-long or summer internships, as well as research opportunities. These experiences often lead to further study and employment. The university's Placements and Internships Officer assists students in identifying suitable opportunities. Options to take an intercalated year in industry, research, or study abroad are available and are reflected in the degree title.
2. Project-Based Learning
Throughout the course, students engage in various projects that enhance practical skills and theoretical understanding. These include individual and group projects, such as reverse engineering engines and programming industrial robots, providing hands-on experience in real-world engineering challenges.
3. Research Opportunities
Students can participate in research projects across different laboratories, working on topics aligned with current engineering challenges. This exposure to research methodologies and cutting-edge technologies prepares students for potential postgraduate studies or research-oriented careers.
4. Global Experiences
The program offers options for intercalated years abroad, allowing students to gain international experience through study or research placements. These global opportunities broaden students' perspectives and enhance their adaptability in diverse engineering environments.
Career Opportunities:
Graduates typically find employment in advanced industries such as aerospace, automotive, consumer goods, electronics, and pharmaceuticals, as well as traditional light- and heavy-engineering sectors. Employers include Arup, Airbus Defence and Space, Aston Martin, Atkins, Babcock International Group, BAE Systems, Delphi Technologies, Deutsche Bank, Facebook, GE, IBM, Network Rail, NHS, Ricardo, Samsung Electronics, Tata Technologies, and Vodafone.
