During the four-year programme students will spend their first year of the course studying at Oxford Brookes and the second year studying at OTH Regensburg, Technical University of Applied Sciences, Germany. The third year will be spent in work placement at BMW Group Plant Regensburg and Mini Oxford plant for six months each. The fourth and final year of study will be at Oxford Brookes.
BMW said: “The course prepares students for a career in the automotive industry and is tailored specifically to meet the needs of BMW Group as a potential employer. BMW Group will support students’ learning and development throughout the course via a mentorship scheme involving BMW Group managers drawn from a variety of organisational functions at both BMW Plant Regensburg and Mini Plant Oxford.”
Bob Shankly, HR director for BMW Group Manufacturing in the UK, added: “Employers today are working far more closely with universities and colleges to ensure courses better reflect the skills and knowledge actually required in the workplace. We're delighted to have had the opportunity to develop this new degree in collaboration with Oxford Brookes and look forward to welcoming the first students on the course.”
