Subject areas■ General Engineering■ Engineering Management■ Mechanical Systems Engineering■ Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering■ Aeronautical Systems Engineering
Eligibility Staffordshire University’s engineering programmes have been specially developed to recognise the training undertaken by a wide range of Armed Forces Technicians and Engineers. They include a number of entry points ranging from generic trade training/NVQ 3 to direct entry to the BEng (Hons) Top Up for HND holders.
Created following detailed negotiation with the technical/engineering trades and branches and the Defence College of Aeronautical engineering, the breadth of awards offered within the programmes will cater for all levels of expertise.
Based around a series of core modules and supported by a comprehensive selection of option modules, the award structure enables students to create a highly tailored programme of study which is just as relevant to the needs of technicians progressing through their training as to the requirements of commisioned officers seeking an academic perspective and individuals considering their options prior to leaving the service.
There is a strong focus placed on Work Based Learning and this will increasingly reflect and draw on a student’s working environment. It is therefore essential that students should expect to be employed in an engineering environment for the duration of their studies.
Start datesWe have intakes in January, May and September.

■ Remote/on-site support for all modules
HM Forces AccreditationRecognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is available dependent on the level and relevance of previous study/experience and may reduce the amount of modules that you are required to study.
How much does it cost?Current fees can be found at www.staffs.ac.uk/HMForcesor contact a member of the HM Forces Team.
The University is an approved ELC Provider and students may use ELC’s to help fund their studies.
How to ApplyBefore you can apply for a place on the course you must attend a Course Briefing Day (CBD). The purpose of the CBD is to provide an in-depth overview of how the programme is structured, the commitment required to study at undergraduate level and to explain the online application process. A number of CBD’s will be conducted prior to each intake - please contact a member of the HM Forces Team for details of dates and locations.
