Aims

The course provides graduates with:

  • Advanced study in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of engineering that builds on a student's previous knowledge and experience
  • An ability to critically analyse and evaluate information and solve problems
  • An understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and a commitment to them
  • Well developed written and oral communication skills
  • An understanding of the need to undertake lifelong learning and the capacity to do so
