Accreditation
Please note that the BEng Mechanical Engineering degree is accredited by the IMechE where students gain an honours classification and pass a project such as ES3B1 or ES327. Accreditation at BEng level recognises that only part of the academic requirements for CEng status will be met and therefore graduates will be required to undertake further learning. Advice on what constitutes further learning is available from the Institution.
