This is a two-year top-up degree to provide you with the opportunity to enhance existing qualifications in design or a related area, to degree or honours degree level.
The first year of study in CAD leads to the award of a BSc Computer-Aided Design. Students successfully completing this year can progress to a second year of study (the Honours year) to gain further knowledge and expertise in the use and development of modern design and manufacturing software tools and systems.
Each of the modules which make up the BSc CAD are self-contained courses of study that may contain a mixture of formal lectures (online as well as face-to-face), tutorials, seminars, case studies, laboratory work and project work. A unifying theme will ensure that all modules are relevant to the core topic of computer-aided design.
- You will use product design and data management fundamentals along with industry standard CAD/CAM packages, prototyping systems and ancillary equipment, and modern communications technologies.
- You will gain knowledge of the broader spectrum of design and manufacturing systems and engineering management tools as a part of different modules of the programme.
- The course has been developed to meet the needs of industry (Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil and Architecture) for delivering design, engineering and manufacturing skill sets.
Minimum Entry Requirements
