BEng (Hons) Ordnance, Munitions & Explosives
Course Description
The Ordnance, Munitions and Explosives (OME) sector has recognised its need to build skills and competency in the critical areas of UK defence and commercial explosive enterprise. UWTSD’s focus is to develop undergraduates and OME apprentices with the ability to learn and apply technical knowledge in this specialist field independently, building intellectual skills such as analysis, innovation, and critical appraisal. Lectures explore concepts and theories to develop an understanding of weapon systems from their initial concept, design, and manufacture to their considerations of use in operational service, and final disposal at end of useful life.
The OME programme is led by industry demand, with modules that incorporate industry trends and technological advancements to stretch and challenge students. Modules develop a variety of general and specialised skills, allowing graduates to carry out a range of technical, engineering studies and scientific experimentation in the defence, chemical, commercial, military, security, analytical and research sectors, as well as international development and humanitarian organisations. Formal accreditation is provided by the Institute of Explosive Engineers (IExpE), allowing students and graduates to pursue professional chartered status.
