They're part of it, are you?
Our students come from all walks of life, from all over the UK, and each have their own story to tell. Some come from traditional academic backgrounds, some come from previous experience in industry. Some have A-level Maths and Physics. Some don't. Some started their journey on what they thought was the right career path for them, before discovering engineering, and NMITE. Others began their studies at a more traditional university, found it wasn't right for them, and switched to our unique model of hands-on learning.
No matter where our students start off, we aim for them all to graduate on a level playing field, fully prepared for their future careers.
Our Herefordshire students have been telling us their own unique stories. Check out our Youtube playlist and get inspired to write the next chapter in your own story this September as one of NMITE's #HomegrownEngineers

Our Degrees
Our BSc (Hons) Sustainable Built Environment Degrees
NMITE's BSc Sustainable Built Environment programme is the first full degree offering from NMITE’s state of the art Centre for Advanced Timber Technology (CATT). Designed to help educate a new generation of construction professionals, this degree will enable you to create a more sustainable future. Using NMITE's distinctive approach to education, you'll be immersed in rich challenge-led learning, and extensive industry and community engagement.
Our Integrated Engineering Degrees
Created with input from actual engineers in industry, NMITE's BEng and MEng degrees will see you immersed in design and innovation. You will gain the hands-on experience you need to make your impact as an engineer, all whilst developing the specialist and multi-faceted knowledge required to take on, and help solve, the problems that matter to you.
Our Foundation Year option
Foundation Years at NMITE are available to be taken integrated into all of our engineering and technology degree courses. If you didn’t get the A-Level results you were hoping for, are thinking of a change in career, or if you did not follow traditional routes into Higher Education, then starting your studies with a Foundation Year may be the right choice for you.
