It is assessed by the host institution under European Credit Transfer arrangements. Students will normally take language modules in the University s Foreign Language Centre to prepare for their period of study in Europe. Sponsorship Increasing numbers of students in the department are sponsored by industrial or commercial organisations such as Ford and Metal Box, or by the Armed Services, and we welcome this trend. We are delighted to discuss any individual training requirements with sponsoring companies. Many students obtain summer placements in engineering companies and these can lead to sponsorship in later years, if not obtained from the start of a degree programme.
Accreditation is a necessary and important process for all engineering degrees.
As with all other institutions, our MEng and BEng degree programmes go through this process at regular intervals, and all recent accreditation visits to the Department have been positive. These will cover topics in software engineering, computer networks and protocols, modern computer languages, digital electronics, data and mobile communications.
