This year the School of Engineering and Manufacture combined with Computer Sciences to became a new Faculty at De Montfort University. The building represents a major investment in higher education, offering facilities to house 1,400 students and 100 staff in one complex. Students are provided with an opportunity to study specialist subjects, both from within their chosen discipline, and from the wide portfolio of subjects available within the other engineering disciplines.
Programmes lead to professional recognition.
The scheme is referred to as Extended Engineering because it can be extended in duration to accommodate variable rates of study. It also allows for a wide range of entry qualifications. Extended Engineering incorporates a broad spectrum of programmes ranging from traditional disciplines such as electrical, electronic, mechanical and manufacturing to business and information technology. Each is offered at diploma or degree level. On completion of their studies at a linked college, students can transfer to DMU Leicester to continue studying for one of the exit awards.
