We offer a range of part-time and full-time flexible study routes to fully develop the skills and capabilities of students and apprentices. Our engineering courses are designed to produce industry-ready, modern professional engineers and to upskill existing engineering professionals to degree, masters, or post-graduate research levels.
Our Engineering courses provide an excellent opportunity to gain employment in the engineering sector or to develop essential skills for career progression and professional growth. Our Non-Destructive Testing courses were developed in collaboration with the British Institute for Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) for experienced practitioners and recent entrants to NDT.
We welcome all applicants to our engineering courses, including international students and those with non-traditional educational or professional qualifications who are seeking to pursue engineering education in the UK. The University of Northampton has built strong partnerships with engineering companies and these initiatives help ensure our students receive hands-on experience and valuable exposure to the engineering and manufacturing industries.
