Would you fancy working for a motor racing team? How about on a nuclear submarine? Maybe you could see yourself involved in building bridges which span great rivers or valleys?

Welders can conceivably find a job anywhere that requires metal to be joined to metal. This could be with a construction contractor, at an automobile factory or within a specialist manufacturing company.

You learn a huge range of skills on this Fabrication and Welding course from Teesside University, including offshore engineering, fusion welding metallurgy, and cutting and welding techniques, as well as developing your knowledge of more transferrable skills, such as communications and business management.


This is an award of Teesside University delivered in partnership with Hartlepool College of Further Education. The course runs at Hartlepool College (campus code 5).
