Course Overview

The BEng in Rail and Rail Systems Engineering (Signalling and Control) is distinctive in that it teaches the underlying principles of the related theory of electrical and electronic engineering coupled with the required software tools and systems engineering approach to design and enable graduates to tackle complex engineering projects that are common place in the rail engineering sector.

Employability

This course is only offered as an apprenticeship course to learners who are currently in employment in the Rail industry with an employer such as Network Rail, or any other Rail industry-related employer.

The content of this course was developed to meet the L6 equivalent requirements for the core knowledge and skills required for the Rail and Rail Systems Senior Engineer apprenticeship standard and differs very much from a standard undergraduate degree.

Learners will be aiming to work as a Junior/Senior Engineer in the railway industry.
