Engineering
The role of the engineer is to problem solve. Their fields of expertise range from engineering systems at the molecular level (nanotechnology) to the construction of the world’s largest structures.
The Engineering Sector
The list of engineering disciplines includes electrical, electronic, mechanical, aeronautical, civil, control and automotive and nearly 20% of the UK workforce consists of Engineers. Engineering students have numerous career options to choose from.
Our Courses
At Southport College, our courses focus on mechanical and electronic engineering. Typically, you could be in a CAD (Computer Aided Design) suite planning your designs one day then manufacturing your designs in the fully equipped workshop.
Southport College Engineering are on Facebook and Instagram, posting exciting updates of projects, visits and guest speakers.

Luke Frackelton, Engineering Level 3 Extended Diploma I visited an Open Evening at Southport College and decided it was the college for me. I wanted to do a BTEC in Engineering and the course here is perfect! I am a very practical learner so the practical side of the course has been really enjoyable and has helped me to solidify my learning. The staff are always happy and helpful and the facilities are the best around! This a great college offering some great opportunities for Engineering students. I am very happy that I chose to come here. I have been offered a place at Liverpool John Moores University next year to study Mechanical Engineering.
Raymond Duong, Engineering Level 3 Extended Diploma I chose Southport College because it offered the best opportunity to get into the Engineering industry. I have really enjoyed the Engineering course. I have learnt lots of new skills which allow me to think of different designs and give me the ability to make new products in the future. The staff are friendly and really down to earth and the facilities are great for what you need on the course. I plan to go to Liverpool John Moores University next year to study Mechanical Engineering and in the future would like to work on large engineering projects.
