Distinctive Features

This programme is delivered using a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, student-led sessions and self-study; together with hands-on laboratory and practical sessions. There is extensive use of group project work and during the final years students undertake substantial research-based individual projects.

Two key themes run each year: professional skills and career development; and a group project to foster problem-based learning and to encourage both team working and interpersonal skills. The group projects will provide an opportunity for interested students to become involved in the Formula Student initiative.

Learning is supported throughout by the University’s virtual learning environment; and the Library and Information Services, which provide extensive access to physical, electronic and online resources.

Study Overseas

Upon successful completion and passing of year 1 and year 2, students will have an opportunity to study at Teesside University, UK campus for year 3 and year 4 of the programme. Fees and details to be advised.
