Course Overview
Overview
Mechanical Engineering is the most versatile of the engineering disciplines and there exists a high and growing demand from industry for graduate Mechanical Engineers.
Our accredited degree will place you at the heart of modern industry, providing career opportunities in sectors such as:
- Aerospace, automotive and rail
- Energy and power generation
- Manufacturing engineering; product design, materials, production and processing.
You’ll combine mechanics, materials science, thermofluids and computational methods to design, analyse and implement complex systems which are economic, reliable, efficient and sustainable.
Throughout the degree you’ll put theory into practice through a range of individual and group projects. For instance, year 1 will see you take part in three projects using your skills to design, build and test real mechanical devices.
You will have the opportunity to participate in the Formula Student competition, working with other students to design and build a single-seater racing car.
A 'sandwich' placement year in industry enables you to build industry contacts while developing your skills and professional confidence.
On graduation you will be industry ready, with a grounding in engineering science and hands-on working knowledge of:
- the core analytical and advanced scientific principles and methods underpinning mechanical engineering
- applied prototyping and analysis for efficient computer-aided design and manufacturing
- integrated skills for complex engineered systems, including communication and project management skills, as well as advanced model based systems analysis tools and techniques
Programme options
We also offer a 4-year version of the MEng without the 'sandwich' placement year in industry.
You may also be interested in our BEng Mechanical Engineering programmes. We offer a 3-year version of the BEng and a 4-year version with sandwich year.
