If you are aiming for a career in defence or advanced manufacturing engineering, this course offers a strong foundation. The BEng (Hons) Advanced Manufacturing Engineering for Defence is a hands-on, industry-focused degree designed to develop skilled defence engineers. It combines theory and practice across advanced and additive manufacturing, digital systems and Industry 4.0, materials and structural analysis, defence communications, non-destructive testing, and sustainable engineering.

Download Prospectus

Developed in response to the defence sector's need for engineers who can handle both advanced manufacturing and complex systems integration. By studying BEng (Hons) in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering for Defence, you will develop the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to design, develop, and deliver advanced engineering solutions within complex, defence-oriented projects delivered in a way that ensures personalised learning and close interaction with expert staff.

The curriculum covers foundational engineering topics including mathematics, materials science, engineering principles, and electrical and electronic principles. You will also build essential CAD/CAM skills with industry-standard software and apply them to genuine defence engineering problems through team-based projects with industrial focus.

Defence-specific topics include advanced additive manufacturing technologies, defence communications systems, power and propulsion systems, and the application of digital and smart technologies in secure environments. By building on these foundations, you will learn to apply computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools, such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and advanced simulation software, to support analysing the performance, reliability, and safety of defence systems.

Practical learning is a major part of the programme. You will gain experience with CNC machining, power systems, radiofrequency (RF) measurement, polymer and metal additive manufacturing, and other advanced manufacturing techniques. The course introduces Industry 4.0, 5.0 and digital manufacturing concepts, such as predictive maintenance, automation, and data-driven decision-making. You will also work with PLC systems, designing and programming industrial control systems to simulate the automation and monitoring of defence manufacturing processes, giving you the necessary skills to work in the defence/advanced manufacturing industry.

You will be taught by academic staff with strong industrial backgrounds and supported by guest lectures, masterclasses, and live industrial projects, providing insight into defence manufacturing organisations and professional practice. Employability and professional development are embedded throughout, with opportunities for placements and internships to gain real-world experience.

Graduates go on to careers as defence systems engineers, advanced manufacturing specialists, design analysts, and test & evaluation engineers in global defence companies, government agencies, and pioneering engineering firms, where resilience, innovation, and cutting-edge technology are critical.

We accept a full range of qualifications that carry UCAS points, including A-levels and BTECs. Please see our guide to the UCAS Tariff for examples of how to achieve these points. For most courses, we are also able to consider non-tariffable qualifications.

Your Level 3 subjects must include mathematics and a physical science subject; for instance, A-level Mathematics and Physics or BTEC Extended Diploma in Engineering (you should choose units in additional mathematics and analytical subjects).

You should also have five GCSEs at grade 4/C or above (or equivalent), including English, Mathematics and Science.

We'll be happy to consider your application if you have non-traditional entry qualifications and relevant experience or a suitable portfolio of work that we consider a reasonable substitute for the qualifications we typically accept for this course. If you have an HND/C in an appropriate engineering discipline, we'll consider you for entry to level HE5 of this programme, depending on the subject area of qualification and the level of maths and science that you have achieved. You may be asked to undertake additional assessment(s) to determine your suitability for the course.

You may be required to attend an interview and/or provide a portfolio of work.

If English is not your first language, you will also need IELTS 6.0 with no less than 5.5 in any band (or equivalent). We also accept a range of other English language qualifications – please visit our English Language Requirements web page for more details.

Home Undergraduate Tuition Fee Adjustment

The tuition fee applicable to the first year of your programme of study is confirmed in your offer letter. The tuition fee set is based on the regulations and guidance in force at the time of offer but remains subject to adjustment in accordance with any government-approved inflationary increase. The University reserves the right to amend tuition fees for all years of study, including the first year, by no more than the maximum increase permitted under legislation and regulatory guidance issued by the UK Government and the Office for Students.

Where such increases are approved, they will not exceed the rate of inflation, as measured by an appropriate index such as the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), or any successor measure specified by government. The University will apply any adjustment consistently across affected student cohorts and will give reasonable notice to students of any confirmed change to the published fee before the start of the relevant academic year.

This approach ensures that tuition fees remain compliant with applicable legislation, proportionate to inflationary changes, and consistent with government policy linking permitted fee uplifts to the maintenance of high-quality education and outcomes. For more information, please refer to the government guidance at: gov.uk – Universities to deliver better outcomes in return for full fees.

Postgraduate and International Tuition Fee Adjustment
