Do you like to get to the bottom of how things work, solve problems and make things? You could be an engineer!
Engineering is a combination of science and maths used to solve real-life problems. As an engineer you could help to design and construct visionary buildings, work on aircraft, develop the latest green technology to save the planet, or invent new medical devices to improve healthcare.
Our Engineering specialism will provide you with the knowledge and skills to work across this diverse and growing sector. You will learn Computer Aided Design (CAD) and work in state-of-the-art facilities including high-spec workshops for materials’ testing, electronics, hydraulics and pneumatics, mechanical and manufacturing engineering. To give you a broader understanding of how engineering can make a difference to the environment, you will also study GCSE Geography.
Part of your learning will involve real-life challenges set by engineering and manufacturing employers that will stretch you and build your industry skills, like the Royal Navy Engineering Challenge which our students take part in each year.
