Overview
As a working professional, enhance your qualifications and knowledge and support your career growth to become an engineer.
Current trends towards multidisciplinary working in engineering firms drives a need for engineers to become ‘technically fluent’ in a broader range of areas, manage technological convergence, collaborate and problem-solving skills. The purpose of the Graduate Apprenticeship BEng (Hons) Engineering (Design and Manufacture) course is to produce graduates with the skills and knowledge to become professional engineers capable of working in various engineering environments. You will specialise in one of the following streams: computer-aided engineering, control and instrumentation or electrical power engineering design.
This specialist approach allows you and employers to choose a stream with best fit for your workplace. The Engineering (Design and Manufacture) Graduate Apprenticeship is co-designed with employers to ensure it meets contemporary industry needs. The School of Computing, Engineering and Built Environment has more than 30 years’ experience in delivering engineering education to employees on a day release basis.
If you are reading this as in employer, Graduate Apprenticeships may be used for the dual purposes of workforce development (early career) as well as up-skilling and reskilling needs of more experienced middle and senior employees seeking to catch up on academic and professional qualifications.
All Apprenticeships are fully-funded by the Scottish Funding Council. Applicants will also need to complete a SAAS Graduate Apprenticeship application form. The course team will review skills, knowledge, academic qualifications and experience of all applicants, which will all be used to inform the level of the apprenticeship candidates will begin their education.
