In 2019 the University Centre was awarded Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) accreditation recognising high quality internationally respected undergraduate degrees in Engineering subjects.
The BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the BEng (Hons) Mechanical and Manufacturing, was accredited by IET on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
The University Centre is the ideal destination for those who want to take up higher level study, but prefer to live at home within easy travelling distance of their university. Joining the University Centre also means saving on expensive accommodation costs with the added benefit of smaller classes and more lecturer contact time than offered by larger institutions.
We offer full and part-time study options with flexible delivery particularly aimed at those studying degree apprenticeships or around other work commitments.
With millions of pounds invested in new facilities, resources and equipment, we offer degree study on your doorstep with lower tuition fees than many other UK universities
The course has opened doors I never imagined, challenging my thinking and fitting perfectly around my busy life. The support from tutors and the convenience of studying close to home made all the difference.
