Advanced Mechanical Engineering (Taught)

The Advanced Mechanical Engineering MSc focuses on key skills required for a career in mechanical engineering.

This course is accredited by the IET, and IMechE and InstMC. More information is available on the School of Engineering website

Course overview
Our MSc in Advanced Mechanical Engineering equips students with the expertise and adaptability to tackle new and unusual challenges across a wide range of disciplines, within engineering and beyond.

Core modules provide advanced knowledge of fundamental mechanical engineering principles while also developing the skills needed to manage engineering projects involving multiple stakeholders. Optional modules offer the flexibility to explore complementary topics aligned with your interests.

You will also undertake an individual research project – an extensive experimental, theoretical, or computational study on a topic of your choice, guided by an academic supervisor. Previous project titles include: CFD for electric car battery cooling system design; Developing and testing an improved solar thermal collector (for hot water); Modelling and simulation of biological control systems; Recycling of materials from spent lithium ion batteries; Biomechanical detection of breast cancer by palpation; Polymer gear contact simulations for EV gearbox applications.

Within the School of Engineering, our teaching is driven by cutting-edge research in areas such as automotive systems, biomedical engineering, electrical and thermal energy systems, materials and modelling, precision engineering and measurement, as well as solid and fluid mechanics.

Graduates from this programme have secured roles at leading companies such as Arup, Rolls-Royce, and Siemens, while others have pursued further research through PhD programmes at Warwick and other institutions..
