Programme Structure

The taught element of the course comprises of eight modules and is delivered between October and February. 

Water course structure diagram

Five one-week modules, mostly delivered in the early part of the year, cover the fundamentals of Advanced Mechanical Engineering.  These are intensive weeks, consisting of all day teaching. During this period, there are some weeks without modules, which are largely free of structured teaching to allow time for more independent learning and reflection, completion of assignments or exam preparation.  

After the winter break there are three two-week modules that involve more active problem-based learning and typically include practical or laboratory sessions, case studies or group work.  These are an opportunity for you to apply and integrate your knowledge.  These modules are all assessed by assignments that are completed during the two-week period.  The focus on group work and application within these modules provides a valuable transition into the Group Project.
