Engineering Courses

The engineering industry is growing and has lots of different careers. For some jobs, you’ll need practical skills and creativity and in others, you’ll need to be good at maths and science. An interest in how things work and problem-solving skills will also help if you want to design, test and build tomorrow’s technology. HS2 is coming to Birmingham and there are hundreds of jobs expected in the area.
