The final year is where the student develops the tools of technology and manufacture to honours degree level. These tools are then applied to the design and manufacture of sports and sport related equipment from a knowledge base and understanding of sports and exercise sciences. The individual project is the principal vehicle for students to demonstrate application of knowledge and tools. The student can bias the applications focus of the individual project to be predominantly sports related or directed to the more general practice of engineering, design and manufacture. Year 4 is based at Leicester City Campus, but if the sports thrust is chosen the student will be able to spend one semester at DMU Bedford.
Teaching is by tutorials, seminars, laboratory work, case studies and project work.
Project work forms an increasing proportion of the learning environment and assessment as the student progresses towards graduation. A programme leaflet is available on request. A full programme of open days is run by the school, and we are happy to make additional arrangements for individuals or groups wishing to visit us at other times.
