Course Overview
The Degree Apprenticeship in Aeronautical and Manufacturing Engineering is a broad-based curriculum, covering aspects of mechanical and aeronautical engineering, engineering design, materials, manufacturing methods, aerodynamics, numerical analysis and modelling as well as the underlying fundamental of maths, engineering principals and design methodologies.
The programme is designed for learners employed within the engineering sector, as companies are increasingly looking to take on well-qualified school-leavers and direct them through an embedded degree apprenticeship scheme rather than taking on graduates. The BEng Degree Apprenticeship is an attractive route to a degree level qualification for existing employees, or those who have followed a vocational qualification route within the FE sector, as the qualification can be obtained alongside industrial experience, with lower levels of student debt.
The Swansea University awarded BEng degree is delivered as a partnership between Swansea University, Coleg Cambria and the employer companies. The degrees are awarded by Swansea University.
