Major employers, like Haas Automation, help to design our course content. This means you're getting career-specific skills that the industry demands and the local economy needs, along with a widely-recognised qualification.
Develop key practical skills in our massive state-of-the-art engineering workshops, including the specialist Advanced Skills Centre, at the Abingdon campus.
Career routes could lead you to create revolutionary designs in sustainable technologies, preserve historical buildings, test aerodynamics on Formula 1 cars, or bring the future forward in robotics and artificial intelligence.
Engineers make things, use creativity and logic to design and solve problems, and help to shape the world we see around us. With us, you could be trialing new skills in electronics, exploring the use of robotics, creating functioning materials from CAD designs and gaining a wide range of different equipment knowledge.
Key to everything on our Engineering courses is giving you the responsibility and confidence to discover, interpret and test within exciting projects, developing the important skills that employers want to see.
It's been great having my employer support my progression and career. I did study engineering at secondary school, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I do here.
There's a good atmosphere and the equipment is fantastic. I have the freedom to get on with the work but the support is there if and when I need it.
In my opinion, it's the best thing to do; taking on an apprenticeship, going to college and getting paid for it.
I have a clear direction in mind too, as I'm thinking of studying an engineering HNC and potentially an HND after that.
I studied for my Level 3 engineering apprenticeship on-site at BMW. During that time, you get to work in different departments and figure out the career route you're interested in – I've chosen the maintenance department.
The tutors at the college really know their stuff and are helpful. You can tell they have experience working with BMW as the organisation and communication is really good, especially as we're on shift patterns.
Going forward, the HND is a potential option, because if you progress well you can look into the foundation degree.
During my time at the College, alongside my role at BMW, I have been developing my skillset and gaining more and more confidence in what I do.
The workshops and equipment allow me to work on the areas I’d like to specialise in and apply the practical experience and knowledge I learn at college back into my job.
I would say that the course is helping me get to where I am because I am constantly learning new things.
