You’ll develop your knowledge, understanding and skills through progressive and interdisciplinary approaches. We use practical laboratories and computer simulations to enhance your learning – including lab experiments designed to reinforce your learning of theoretical concepts.You learn through:- lectures- tutorials- seminars- engineering workshops- laboratories- group work**Applied learning - Work placements**You’ll have the opportunity to arrange a year-long work placement in between your second and third years. This gives you a real-world experience to prepare you for your future career. Although optional (and competitive), a placement is actively encouraged to improve your employability at the end of your degree significantly.**Live projects**As you progress through the course you're encouraged to take an increasingly strategic approach – ultimately managing real projects, mentoring students from lower levels or contributing to a team project. **Competitions**You may participate in a range of extracurricular activities and competitions such as the IMechE Formula Student competition, the IMechE Unmanned Aircraft Systems Challenge competition and the Engineers Without Borders challenge.
