These courses are professionally accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers on behalf of the Engineering Council. All students undertake Engineering Applications as an integrated part of the course. By the end of Year 2, students majoring in European Studies will be fully prepared for a study period abroad. Study programmes are agreed in advance to match the home curriculum. There is a wide range of engineering options with further scope for final development of specialisms in European Studies or Business Management.
All students undertake a project on a subject of their choice.
This involves further study at Masters level over a broad, professionally relevant curriculum including engineering, business and languages. There is considerable flexibility in the breadth and depth of the curriculum. For example, Masters candidates for the degree with specialisation in Accountancy select their classes which count as qualifying exemptions from the Professional Examination syllabus of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland. Optional language classes are available to students in all streams. A degree in engineering offers excellent opportunities which are greatly enhanced by the prospect of employment in enterprises which have a European or global outlook.
