2023 entry application deadlines

For courses starting in 2023 (and for deferred applications), your application should be with us at UCAS by one of these dates – depending on what courses you apply for. If your completed application – including all your personal details and your academic reference – is submitted by the deadline, it is guaranteed to be considered.

15 October 2022 for 2023 entry at 18:00 (UK time) – any course at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, or for most courses in medicine, veterinary medicine/science, and dentistry. You can add choices with a different deadline later, but don’t forget you can only have five choices in total.

25 January 2023 for 2023 entry at 18:00 (UK time) – for the majority of courses.

Some course providers require additional admissions tests to be taken alongside the UCAS application, and these may have a deadline. Find out more about these tests.

Check course information in the search tool to see which deadline applies to you at the application weblink below.

Apply as soon as possible: Student funding arrangements mean that as offers are made and places fill up, some courses may only have vacancies for students from certain locations. It’s therefore really important that you apply for your chosen courses by the appropriate deadlines mentioned above, as not all courses will have places for all students.

Hide-Overview
Engineering Management is for ambitious students who want to combine engineering know-how with business acumen.

Summary
The BEng Hons Engineering Management is a four-year, professionally accredited engineering course that is designed to equip you with a valuable blend of engineering and management skills.

Engineering Management graduates play a key role in design and manufacture where the challenges include the development of more efficient and effective manufacturing systems and processes, the creation of innovative products, global sustainability and the building of new business models to support high-value manufacturing.

This course provides you with a broad-based education including studies in engineering technology and materials, manufacturing systems and processes, product and system design, complemented by studies in business and management. It develops the multi-disciplinary and soft skills that are increasingly being demanded in today’s dynamic and resource conscious environment.

This course has been developed to satisfy industry demand for professional engineers who possess business and management skills combined with engineering expertise.

Engineering Management graduates are in high demand from employers, not only for a wide range of roles in industry, but also in utilities, transportation and consultancy.

About
Year 1 introduces you to the fundamental skills and knowledge that underpin the core themes of the course. Studies include manufacturing processes, design and CAD, materials, mathematics, engineering science, and management and marketing. You develop practical engineering IT skills and gain hands-on workshop and laboratory experience. Projects help you practise and improve professional skills such as project management, communications, problem solving and creativity. A teamwork project allows you to gain a deeper understanding of the role of the engineer in a global context taking account of ethical, cultural and sustainability issues.

Your year 2 studies include manufacturing systems and materials, product design and CAD, quality, marketing and operations management. You also learn about the financial aspect of industrial production. You can choose an optional engineering or business module, depending on your interests. Throughout the year there is an increased emphasis on digital manufacturing and the role of information technology in manufacturing and design. Visits to local industry provide an insight into real-world design and manufacturing. Individual and team assignments throughout the year help you develop your professional skills in areas such as team-working, project management and communications. Preparation for your industrial placement begins in year 2.

Year 3 is your industrial placement year. Further details may be found in the section on placements.

In addition to the continuing development of the engineering, design and management themes, there are opportunities in year 4 for you to develop your interests by selecting from a range of options that include environmental engineering and nanotechnology. An option in programming reflects the increasing importance of customer-focussed, integrated digital manufacturing systems in industry. Individual and team activities provide opportunities for you to work on industry-sourced or research-linked projects to develop specific expertise and to enhance your technical and professional skills.

Details of the course modules may be found in the section on modular structure.

This course is currently in the process of renewing its Professional Body Accreditation. It is possible that there will be some changes to the course as described.

Hide-Assessment methods vary and are defined explicitly in each module. Assessment can be via one method or a combination e.g. examination and coursework . Assessment is designed to assess your achievement of the module’s stated learning outcomes. You can expect to receive timely feedback on all coursework assessment. The precise assessment will depend on the module and may be subject to change from year to year for quality or enhancement reasons. You will be consulted about any significant changes.

Coursework can take many forms, for example: essay, report, seminar paper, test, presentation, dissertation, design, artefacts, portfolio, journal, group work. The precise form and combination of assessment will depend on the course you apply for and the module. Details will be made available in advance through induction, the course handbook, the module specification and the assessment timetable. The details are subject to change from year to year for quality or enhancement reasons. You will be consulted about any significant changes.

Normally, a module will have four learning outcomes, and no more than two items of assessment. An item of assessment can comprise more than one task. The notional workload and the equivalence across types of assessment is standardised.

Hide-Work placement / study abroad
In Year 3 of the course you will undertake a paid industrial placement with many opportunities in world-class organisations, locally and further afield. While on placement you will experience and participate in real-life engineering, learning how theory relates to practice and developing valuable employability skills. Satisfactory completion of the industrial placement year leads to the award of the Diploma in Professional Practice (DPP) upon graduation. Alternatively, you may undertake a year's study abroad for the Diploma in International Academic Studies (DIAS).
