The Top-up Degree in Manufacturing Engineering is designed to offer flexible learning patterns and enable students with a relevant foundation degree to continue to progress on to a BEng(Hons) top-up programme in Manufacturing Engineering and practice in a career as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng). It is expected that the majority of students on this programme will continue from the FdEng in Manufacturing Engineering at New College Swindon & Swindon and Wiltshire Institute of Technology, thus providing a continuous programme from Level 4 through to Level 6.
The programme has been developed to answer the needs of industry which has experienced an increasing demand for employees with the right vocational knowledge and skills and with the independence to add value to organisations. Graduates from the programme will have a wider and deeper range of skills and knowledge than their contemporaries on more traditional courses that will help them progress and add value in the workplace or help them to continue their studies to a higher-level degree course.
Entry requirements
Entry onto the top-up year requires successful completion of a relevant Foundation Degree in Engineering. It is expected that the majority of students on this programme will have studied a Foundation Degree in Manufacturing Engineering, however students from Mechanical Engineering will also be considered if accompanied by relevant experience. Foundation Degrees from other Universities or Colleges may be admitted if their modules are equivalent and considered of a suitable standard. Other qualifications, such as HND, deemed equivalent will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
