Engineering shapes the world around us – from the cars we drive to the technology we use every day. Engineers are in high demand, making it a smart career choice, no matter what life stage you are at.
Our engineering courses will provide you with industry-recognised qualifications, setting you up for an exciting career in this dynamic industry. We offer courses across our campuses, including our cutting-edge High Value Engineering Centre (HiVE).
Learn in state-of-the-art workshops
You’ll develop your skills using:
- Traditional hand and machine tools
- Modern computer-controlled machinery
- Rapid prototyping technology
- Specialist engineering pathways
Mechanical engineers design, develop, and maintain machinery and mechanical systems – from aircraft and medical devices to engines and tools. You’ll learn how to take a product from concept to completion, focusing on functionality, durability, and efficiency to solve real-world challenges.
From smartphones and electric vehicles to power stations and home automation, electrical and electronic engineers keep the modern world running. With sustainability and green energy shaping the future, the demand for skilled engineers has never been higher. You’ll explore electricity, conduction, and electromagnetism, learning how to build and maintain essential electrical systems.
Civil engineers design, build, and maintain the infrastructure of our towns and cities. From bridges and tunnels to skyscrapers and stadiums, this field blends construction, environmental science, and structural engineering. You’ll use advanced technology and materials to create structures that are sustainable, safe, and built to last.
With rapid advances in cars, motorbikes, electric vehicles, and motorsports, there is a growing demand for automotive engineers. This field covers everything from engine systems and fuel technology to thermodynamics and vehicle safety – an innovative industry with global career opportunities.
The sky’s the limit with aeronautical engineering. From space exploration to passenger travel, this field focuses on flight mechanics, avionic systems, and aerodynamics. As technology advances, aeronautical engineers will play a key role in shaping the future of air and space travel.
Fabrication and welding are essential in engineering and construction. Using a range of cutting, joining, and shaping techniques, you’ll work with materials like steel and alloys to manufacture components and structures. Skilled fabricators and welders are needed across many sectors, offering diverse career opportunities.
