Courses Spotlight

We’ve selected a few our courses to give you an overview of the wide range of opportunities across our campuses. You can view a full list of our Engineering courses below – searching by campus or by subject.

Our common entry courses are designed to provide students interested in Engineering with an opportunity to study various subject areas before choosing a specialised field to pursue the career of their dreams.

This provides students with the opportunity to study common modules and have the flexibility to amend their area of specialisation after their first semester of study, subject to space availability.
