The majority of your teaching will be on campus using our professional facilities. There will also be blended online activities where that extra flexibility benefits you. Our Design Engineering courses offer a strong practice-based teaching approach to ensure that you develop the necessary skills and knowledge to take with you into the workplace.
Our flexible approach aims to suit everyone as we all learn in different ways. An online element to your learning lets you study at your own pace, whilst our in-person sessions give you a more personalised learning experience. Our approach allows for multiple teaching methods to be implemented across your modules through laboratory and workshop sessions, small group discussions, quizzes, lectures, group presentations and much more.

You’ll work in teams on projects which we update every year, so the content is always fresh and new and you’ll use our custom-built design engineering labs, so that you learn with the latest industry standard equipment and software.
Middlesex has also partnered with global companies, Siemens and Festo, as part of their innovative teaching programme ‘Connected Curriculum’. The scheme will provide you with industrial experience through Siemens and Festo automation technologies during their degree, knowledge that would not typically be gained until a entering the working world.

Some of our graduates have gone on to work at Titan Motorsport, Ashridge Engineering, Tevva eTrucks or have even started their own business in engineering design.
Our incredible support network will guide you through your university journey, learning from guest lecturers, industry professionals and placements, fully preparing you for a career in Design Engineering. There will also be plenty of opportunities to explore your passion for engineering outside of academia, take part in events such as New Scientist Live, WorldSkills UK and more.
