Accreditation of Engineering & Design courses

Accrediting Bodies for our Engineering courses are:

Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)

Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET)

Our courses have been assessed as meeting externally designated standards and quality thresholds that are recognised by the sector’s industry and employers and the learning and achievement of graduates meet the professional benchmarks and standards set by the accrediting body.

Successful completion of an accredited BEng course ensures that you fully meet the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and that you partially meet the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer, (CEng).

In order to fully meet the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer you need either; a Bachelors degree, with Honours, in engineering or technology, accredited for CEng, plus an appropriate and accredited Masters degree or; an accredited integrated Masters (MEng) degree

Our Product Design BSc courses are accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED) and successful completion ensures membership of the IED upon graduation.

Here is a full list of our current UG and PGT courses with accreditation details.
