Bachelor of Engineering Degree (Honours) in Packaging Science, Engineering & Technology
Engineer packaging that protects products, reduces waste and runs reliably on modern production lines.
Programme overview
Packaging protects goods, carries brands and determines how much waste a product leaves behind. This degree combines materials science, structural design and production engineering to create packaging that performs and can be manufactured at scale.
You will design packages with CAD tools, model and simulate production processes, and test materials against international standards. The programme pays particular attention to sustainable materials and the circular economy, and to the enterprise skills needed to build packaging businesses.
