If this event raised your appetite for more, why not find out about the part-time Foundation Degree in Marine & Energy Design Engineering by clicking here 

The course offers blended learning – which means students attend workshops and seminars at their chosen training providers, but will also complement this with distant and work-based learning. This makes it accessible if you are already in employment or you want to prepare for your next career step.

Completing the two-year course successfully will gain students 240 university credits, equivalent to a Level 4 NVQ. Half of the course curriculum focuses on hard-core engineering topics, 25% will be sector specific short-courses and 25% will be company based training.

The Foundation Degree in Marine & Energy Design Engineering is managed by Teesside University, the UK’s third largest part-time university provider in the UK. In 2009 their work with industry across the region was recognised by the Times Higher Education publication, which named it ‘University of the Year 2009’. The course delivery is supported by other training providers across the North East region.

The Foundation Degree in Marine & Energy Design Engineering was developed jointly by Teesside University, the Marine Design Centre, Foundation Degree Forward and many of the region’s design engineer employers. It received support from regional development agency ONE NorthEast.
