The New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering (NMITE) has partnered with the British Army to launch a new Autonomous Systems engineering degree, aimed at accelerating the development of advanced technical skills aligned with defence and wider industry needs.

Delivered through NMITE’s integrated, challenge-led pedagogy, the programme leads to a Master’s in Engineering in three years, producing engineers with applied expertise in drone and autonomous technologies. The approach reflects industry demand for graduates who can operate across disciplines and transition quickly from education to deployment.

The degree places strong emphasis on the dual-use potential of drone technologies, preparing graduates to contribute across defence, infrastructure, manufacturing, logistics and humanitarian sectors. It further strengthens NMITE’s role in developing domestic engineering capability and supporting regional economic growth.

James Newby, President and CEO of NMITE, said:

“This partnership demonstrates NMITE’s unique ability to move quickly to meet national skills needs. We are proud to be shaping this innovative new degree in Autonomous Systems, one that will not only serve defence priorities but also unlock enormous civilian and humanitarian benefits.”

NMITE works with more than 80 industry partners and has delivered over 90 modules to date, positioning it as a fast-growing model for applied engineering education in the UK.
