A degree recognised by industry
Choosing an accredited engineering degree can give you a strong foundation for your future career.
NTU engineering courses have accreditations from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), helping you take important steps towards becoming a Chartered Engineer. We are also members of the CDIO initiative (Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate), a global framework focused on producing innovative engineers who can solve real-world challenges.
Industry-focused learning
From your first year, you'll develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours that engineers use in the workplace. Every course includes practical, work-like experiences embedded within modules, giving you opportunities to tackle industry-relevant challenges, collaborate on projects and apply your learning to real engineering scenarios.
You'll be taught by expert academics with industry experience and gain insights from engineering professionals, helping you understand how the concepts you learn are applied in practice.
Year-long placements
Want to build even more professional experience? Our engineering courses offer the option of a year-long placement. This gives you the chance to work in industry, strengthen your CV, develop valuable professional networks and graduate with the confidence that comes from real workplace experience.
Learn by doing
Engineering comes to life when you can test, build and create. That's why you'll have access to professional-standard facilities and specialist equipment, including:
- Advanced 3D printing technologies
- Formula-style racing simulators
- Structural testing equipment
- Hydraulic systems and manufacturing facilities
- Specialist electronics and engineering laboratories
You'll gain hands-on experience using the same types of tools and technologies found across modern engineering industries.
You'll be based at our Clifton campus. It is the definition of 'campus life' with everything you need right on your doorstep. The campus offers the best of both worlds: a self-contained community with easy access to everything Nottingham has to offer.
