Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Mechanical Manufacture
The Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Mechanical Manufacture focuses on the mechanics of advanced manufacturing processes, including mechanical design of manufacturing components, interaction between process equipment and workpieces for optimum process design and failure analysis and finite element analysis for advanced machine components. Typical areas of interest include structural mechanics, heat transfer and fluid flow, and wear and lubrication.
Graduates will be able to contribute to the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector by designing and optimising modern manufacturing processes.

Degree apprenticeship entry requirements:
You will need one of the following:
A minimum of two A-Levels at grade B or above, including a mathematical-based subject and a science, technology, engineering or an additional mathematics-related subject
An Engineering BTEC Level 3 with at least 120 credits at DM (Distinction Merit) level or above
EAL Diploma in an engineering-based subject at D (Distinction) level
Equivalent qualifications such as Technical Levels at DM or above.
Candidates with a HND or Foundation Degree or who have completed the second year of a degree in a relevant subject can be assessed for direct entry onto the 2nd or 3rd year of the programme (BEng top-up), but 1st year entry or an alternative pathway may still be recommended.
Candidates who have not studied in the UK can submit transcripts for qualifications equivalent to level 3 which the admissions panel will review and may be taken in lieu of the specified qualifications.
Applicants are also required to successfully complete a series of assessments at the University of Sheffield’s AMRC Training Centre, as well as an employer recruitment and selection process to secure a place on an apprenticeship programme.
General requirements:
UK Nationals
- UK passport, showing you are a British citizen or a citizen of the UK, having the right of abode in the UK
- Birth certificate - please also bear in mind, if your name is different to the name you are using, you must also have your deed poll documentation.
EEA Nationals & Switzerland
- For EEA Nationals & Switzerland, an official current immigration status document proving that you have resided in the EEA or Switzerland or the UK, for at least 3 years before the start of the apprenticeship and that you have the right of abode in the UK.
Non-UK Nationals
- For Non-UK national passport holders, your passport alongside a current Immigration Status Document issued by the UK Home Office, or your Biometric Residence Permit (front and back).
If you are uncertain about whether your qualifications meet the entry tariff for the degree apprenticeship, please contact our recruitment team recruitment@amrctraining.co.uk.

"Definitely doing an apprenticeship is the way to go. I love learning on the job and having that one day a week at university to complete my studies. You get a real feel for what engineering is truly about, plus you get the experience."
