As a student of MTU’s highly regarded agricultural engineering programmes, you will work in state-of-the-art facilities and graduate with a degree that enjoys an excellent reputation in the industry. In year 3, students participate in a structured period of work experience in a relevant professional setting. It is while on placement that students really see the value of their academic learning in a real-life, working environment. Your placement lays the foundations of your personal career path. It’s all about developing skills, gaining knowledge and cultivating the attitude needed to engineer a thriving career This programme gives you an excellent knowledge of agricultural engineering and in year four you gain vital expertise in management, marketing and finance. Our world-class facilities include agricultural engineering workshops, machinery halls, science laboratories, computer and electronics laboratories, a mechanical engineering laboratory, a machine and welding shop and a power-units garage. In first year, students cover core modules including engineering mathematics and engineering science, together with specialised topics like agri-tractor technology. As the course progresses, you will deepen your knowledge in core areas and study additional modules in areas such as control engineering and robotics and machine design. Our graduates make meaningful contributions to the productivity, efficiency and competitiveness of agricultural services and manufacturing companies. They develop new products and adapt existing technologies to drive productivity and progress in the agricultural sector, both here and abroad. Show less
