If you’re a technical ‘problem-solver’ looking to build a career in engineering, then this programme – which includes a Foundation Degree - will help develop your skills through a mix of practical work and academic study. It’s an ideal way to get a degree, without running up any student debt.

In this programme we ‘grow our own’ engineers, making sure they – and we – have the right skills to look after our transmission network both now, and well into the future. It’s been developed with Aston University, making sure we get the academic/practical mix just right.

At the heart of this is a ‘core’ programme which involves academic study leading towards a ‘foundation’ degree in engineering. While you’re studying, you’ll be gaining experience on live projects, so that by the time you finish the programme, you’ll be ready to start work on some of the biggest and most complex engineering challenges you’ll find in any industry.
