A good honours degree is usually required, although some employers place as much emphasis on people skills and commercial awareness as on class of degree. A pre-entry postgraduate qualification is not essential but it can be useful, especially if your first degree is not in an engineering or other related subject. Masters are available in subjects such as: computer aided engineering design engineering manufacturing engineering mechanical engineering medical engineering. It is useful if your first degree or Masters is accredited by a relevant professional body, such as the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), as it can help you to achieve the status of chartered engineer at a later date. Details of accredited courses are available at Engineering Council - Accredited Course Search. It is possible to enter the career as a trainee with a HND or foundation degree. Relevant subjects include engineering and mechanical engineering. You could become an engineering technician without a degree, HND or foundation degree but would need to build up the necessary skills and knowledge, and possibly take higher qualifications, to work up to the role of mechanical engineer. Fluency in a second language may be helpful for dealing with international offices or clients, depending on the type of industry. Find out about employers before your final year and make contact with them at engineering recruitment fairs. It is also useful to get student membership with a professional body, to keep up to date with developments in the industry and to start making contacts.
