Advanced Manufacturing
3D printing, laser cutting and hybrid manufacturing are changing how things are made. This programme covers the tools and techniques of next-generation manufacturing.
About this field
Advanced manufacturing includes additive manufacturing (3D printing), subtractive processes (CNC, laser), hybrid techniques and new materials processing. These technologies enable rapid prototyping, low-volume production and complex geometries that traditional methods cannot achieve. This programme covers FDM, SLA, SLS and metal printing, CNC programming, laser processing and design-for-manufacture principles.
Roles you'll be ready for
What you'll be able to do
Real builds, not slideware
Design and 3D-print a multi-part functional prototype, optimise print orientation, support structures and post-process for assembly.
Program a three-axis CNC mill to machine an aluminium part from a CAD model, including tool selection and fixture design.
Produce a part that combines additive (3D-printed base) and subtractive (CNC-machined features) processes in one workflow.

A springboard to a Master's degree in Europe
For a lot of people, Veritas is just step one. The hands-on, globally-recognised experience makes your profile stronger if you want to study abroad later — and these happen to be the exact skills European employers are short on.
Automation, robotics, semiconductors, EV, Industry 4.0 — these skills are in real demand across Europe right now.
Pearson-aligned learning that complements an international application.*
Add advanced tracks before applying abroad.
Industry certifications that travel internationally.
* Study-abroad outcomes depend on admissions, language, funding and visas, which Veritas does not control. Confirm guidance and any partnerships, and verify demand claims, before publishing.
