Learning at BU
BU “commended” for its “quality of student learning opportunities” in 2013 QAA review
Create at BU
We have been in design education for about 25 years!
All our courses (new and established) are based on this long history of design education and an understanding of what industry requires
Create at BU
• Our research and enterprise activities inform our courses
• Projects being undertaken with B&Q, Anglepoise, Airbus, BAE Systems, Tank Museum, Gelert….
Create at BU
• All courses are accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers (iED)
• Design Engineering accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) *
*Accreditation subject to final ratification
Create at BU
• Extensive design facilities –
from concepts to virtual and
physical working prototypes
• Showcase Innovation Centre opening Easter 2017!!
Investing in our physical and intellectual capital
Investing in our physical and intellectual capital
• The creation of a modern workshop environment with updated machinery.
• Rapid Prototyping Centre. • The creation of two dedicated
Mechanics, Dynamics and Materials and Heat and Thermofluids labs.
• Easier access to the CAD and design studio suites through close proximity.
• High visibility of student work and activities.
• £153K investment in laboratory and manufacturing equipment :
Laboratory 1 (Materials, Stress and Dynamics lab) Laboratory 2 (Heat and Thermofluids lab) A full set of TecQuipment’s Engineering Science kits Principles of solar thermal energy Bending moments in a beam Heat exchanger supply unit Shear force in a beam Heat exchanger service module Unsymmetrical bending and shear centre Thin cylinder Manufacturing Facilities Thick cylinder CNC Plasma Cutter Continuous and indeterminate beam Milling machines Unsymmetrical cantilever Drilling machines Strain gauge trainer Powder coating oven Whirling of shafts Makerbot Static and dynamic balancing Free and forced vibrations Simple and compound pendulums Free torsional vibrations Data acquisition kit for dynamic analysis
Investing in our physical and intellectual capital
Student Employability • Diverse industrial placements both nationally and
internationally
• Dedicated Employability Coordinators
• Placement Development Advisors
• Placement year fee approximately £700 only
• High graduate professional employment within six months of graduation:
Industrial Design – 74% Product Design – 92% Design Engineering – 100%
Student Employability
• Further exceptional levels of real-world
learning opportunities:
• Injection moulding course – G&A Moulding
• Rapid Prototyping masterclass – ARRK
• Moulton Bicycle Project
James Dyson Bursary Scheme
• The James Dyson Foundation donates funds each year for 6-10 final year students who demonstrate a passion for design.
• The bursary is used in the development of their final project.
• The bursary is used in the development of the recipient's final project.
• Recipients run workshops at local schools as part of STEM outreach.
