Fees and funding
Fees
Tuition fees for home students commencing their studies in September 2025 will be £9,535 per annum (subject to Parliamentary approval). Tuition fees for international students will be £34,000 per annum. For general information please see the undergraduate finance pages.
Policy on additional costs
All students should normally be able to complete their programme of study without incurring additional study costs over and above the tuition fee for that programme. Any unavoidable additional compulsory costs totalling more than 1% of the annual home undergraduate fee per annum, regardless of whether the programme in question is undergraduate or postgraduate taught, will be made clear to you at the point of application. Further information can be found in the University's Policy on additional costs incurred by students on undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes (PDF document, 91KB).

Overview
The design process is the starting point of most engineering endeavours, so it is important that those entering the engineering profession have a good grasp of design principles. Students will carry out design projects in groups. They will learn how design is carried out through lectures and by experiencing the process, from the specification of a problem, through the generation of ideas, the selection of a good solution and having to convince others of the viability of their solution. Students will be taken through the process of optimising a design, component selection, and producing manufacturing CAD drawings. The process will also manufacture part of a prototype using 3D printing. In the group design sessions, staff are available to give guidance as needed. The Unit consists of a 12 weeks project supported by lectures. The students work in groups of, typically, 5 or 6 persons. Changes are made to the projects each year.
