HN12 BEng Engineering Business Management

Overview

This is an ideal route if you want to study Engineering but seek an alternative to becoming a Chartered Engineer.

Engineering companies need to provide not only superior products, but also superior services to be sustainable in the long term. There is a real demand for graduates with technical knowledge as well as the wider aspects of strategic business management and entrepreneurship. By mastering this you'll provide the key interface between roles as diverse as design, manufacturing, marketing, contract management and supply chain management.

Teaching draws on the expertise of the School of Engineering, which delivers the highest standards of technical expertise; WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group), which offers innovative links between academia and industry; and Warwick Business School (WBS), which is internationally recognised for excellence in business management.

What you'll study

We offer flexible degree programmes that enable you to experience a range of different engineering disciplines before you decide to specialise. All first year students study a general engineering programme, which is much favoured by industry. In the second year, students continue to study the same core modules as all other students until the end of term one. For students who choose Engineering Business Management, the third year is split equally between WMG and WBS.

Intercalated Year Options

Our Placements and Internships Officer supports students to identify opportunities for year-long and/or summer internships and research opportunities, which often lead to further study and employment for our students. Options to take an intercalated year in industry, research or study abroad are reflected in your degree title, and add a year to your degree duration.

Teaching

We use a variety of teaching methods, ranging from lectures and group tutorials to small groups in laboratories. You are allocated a personal tutor, who normally stays with you throughout your time at Warwick. They will help you get the most from your studies. Computer laboratories loaded with specialist software are open 24/7, helping you undertake work at a time that suits you.

Assessment

Students are assessed by a mixture of coursework and written examinations. Design-orientated work is assessed by oral presentation, project work and group assignments. Projects are assessed by a variety of methods, including oral presentations, written reports and posters.

Career opportunities

Graduates of Engineering Business Management acquire the skills to open up a wide range of career opportunities, in functions such as accountancy, marketing, contract management, procurement, supply chain management or servicing.
