Engineering C&G Diploma

Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies engineering physics, engineering mathematics, and materials science principles to design, analyse, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines. This course is designed to equip you with the practical skills and knowledge required to enter the mechanical manufacturing engineering industry. Upon completion, you could progress onto our T-Level, Level 3, and an Advanced Apprenticeship or into employment. So you could find yourself working for companies across the manufacturing, transport, aerospace and automotive sectors. Throughout the course, you'll have the opportunity to go on trips to engineering organisations to see how they operate. You’ll also attend guest talks from real-world engineers currently working in industry or academia. You'll benefit from being taught by a very experienced and talented group of tutors, trainers and technicians who collectively bring decades of academic and industrial experience with them.
