A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in Mechanical (including related variations and specialisms such as Agricultural Engineering, Navel Architecture, Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering) Manufacturing, Automotive Engineering or Industrial Engineering.

Competence in programming is essential. During your degree you must have completed a programming course in a high-level language (such as C++, C#, Java, Python, Matlab or equivalent).

If you apply with an academic background in another field you may be considered if you have completed the equivalent of 40 credits of courses related to manufacturing technology. Your marks for these courses must be equivalent to UK 2:1 as a minimum.

Examples of courses relevant to this degree are:

manufacturing systems

advanced manufacturing technology

industrial systems engineering

industrial information systems

industrial automation

fluid mechanics

finite element analysis

mechatronics

automation

additive manufacture

meterology and measurement

CAD/CAM

engineering materials

CNC (Computer Numerical Control)

metallurgy

This requirement may be partially met by relevant industrial experience. Applicants with non-standard backgrounds may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
