The T Level in Engineering and Manufacturing will provide 16-18 year old learners with the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to progress into skilled employment, higher-level technical training or university-level study in the Engineering Sector.

It will cover Design and Development for Engineering and Manufacturing Maintenance, Installation and Repair for Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering, Manufacturing, Processing and Control.

This is a 2-year programme where you cover common core elements in the first year and choose your occupation specialism in the second year.

Students will develop an understanding of a broad range of issues relevant to the sector, including:

  • Working within the engineering and manufacturing sectors – an understanding of how materials, conditions and context influence design processes and products
  • Essential mathematics for engineering and manufacturing – a knowledge and understanding of mathematics, including standard matrices and determinants
  • Standard trigonometry materials and their properties – understanding material processing techniques and their effects on materials and material quality, the condition of materials, how these are managed
  • Materials testing methods and techniques business

Commercial and financial awareness – basic commercial principles, including commercial priorities and markets, customers/clients/partners and resource allocation

Depending on the T Level route, the following options are available to specialise in:

  • Design and Development for Engineering and Manufacturing
  • Fitting and assembly technologies
  • Machining and toolmaking technologies
  • Composites manufacturing technologies
  • Fabrication and welding technologies
  • Maintenance
  • Installation and Repair for Engineering and Manufacturing maintenance engineering technologies
  • Mechanical maintenance engineering technologies
  • Mechatronic maintenance engineering technologies
  • Electrical & electronic maintenance engineering technologies
  • Control & instrumentation maintenance
  • Installation and repair
  • Light and electric vehicles Engineering, Manufacturing, Processing and Control fitting
  • Assembly technologies, machining and toolmaking technologies
  • Composites manufacturing
  • Technologies fabrication
  • Welding technologies

4 x GCSEs at grade C/5 or above including English Language and a grade 6 in Maths . We will invite you to a course information meeting event where you will receive information, advice and guidance about the course you have applied for. This will be an opportunity for you to gain valuable information about the course and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

You will also be informed about the requirements of the Industry placements and the model of this being delivered (dependant on T Level Pathway) and the commitment this will require as a T Level cannot be fully achieved if the placement hours are not fulfilled.

You will need to provide a copy of your last school report and / or a reference from an employer or relevant professional, this will include attendance. This is to ensure we can support you to be able to achieve well on the course.

Applicants with 85% or below attendance will have been deemed not to have met this criterion. All applicants are given an opportunity to discuss any evidence- based mitigating circumstances that may have affected the reference / school report. We are firmly committed to finding the right course for you to ensure you can flourish.

Talk to us today if you have any concerns about the application process, we are here to help take you to the next level.

T Levels are equivalent to 3 A Levels and upon successful completion of the T Level in Engineering and Manufacturing, students can progress to study advanced engineering and manufacturing with higher education and qualifications, higher level apprenticeships and even into direct employment.

As a City of Bristol College student, you may incur additional costs to attend your course. For example, you may likely need to pay for travel and stationery. Many courses offer learning opportunities that you may need to pay for. This may include things like study visits and visiting speakers.
