How you’re taught
The postgraduate academic year is divided into three terms. The first two terms are spent studying the taught modules and the last term, pursuing an individual major project.
The teaching methods include:
- lectures to introduce and develop concepts and to explore the application of these concepts
- specialist laboratories to develop skills and appreciate concepts
- seminars to provide academic support
- case study and project work to develop a deeper understanding of concepts and applications
Assessment
All modules are 100% coursework based (case studies and projects) apart from the Entrepreneurial Leadership and Project Management which is assessed by a combination of both coursework and examination. All other modules are assessed by coursework, case studies and projects.
Careers and employability
Not only will you have enviable transferable skills at the end of this course, but you will also be perfectly placed to enter a range of careers in the industrial or engineering sectors.
The industry-focused nature of this Engineering postgraduate degree will ensure that you stand out from the crowd when it comes to job applications and pursuing your future career. Nottingham Trent University graduates are widely respected amongst employers and our Computing and Technology students are perceived as having the competitive edge due to the hands-on approach of our teaching.
