Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Manufacturing Technology
The Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Manufacturing Technology focuses on manufacturing technology design and operation for all major classes of manufacturing processes, including casting, machining, forming, joining and additive manufacturing; and for all relevant classes of materials including polymers, composites, ceramics and metals.
This study is underpinned by fundamental theories of physical principles including thermodynamics, statics and dynamics, numerical methods, control and instrumentation.
Graduates will be able to apply a broad understanding of technical, economic, social and environmental implications of manufacturing technology, to contribute to a competitive and sustainable manufacturing industry.

Degree Apprenticeship entry requirements:
You will need ONE of the following:
- A minimum of two A-Levels at grade 6 (or 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 Cambridge Technical Levels at DM (Distinction Merit) or above
Plus A minimum of three GCSEs at grade 5 (or C) or above, in mathematics, English and a science, technology or engineering-related subject.
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 year 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 required to successfully complete the AMRC Training Centre and employer recruitment and selection process to secure a place on an apprenticeship programme.
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.
How do I apply?
