Course summary

Why choose this course
Surrey’s mechanical engineering degree courses are designed to meet the rapidly evolving needs of modern society and are professionally accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

Our programmes provide broad engineering knowledge, leading to a wide range of possible careers. What is mechanical engineering? Mechanical engineers play a critical role in the everyday functioning of the world we live in, and work in areas including:

Automation
Fluid mechanics
Mechanical design
Robotics
Stress analysis
Sustainable materials.
In addition to learning from internationally recognised academics, you’ll have access to industry-standard facilities, including our state-of-the-art Design Centre, materials testing laboratory and the UK’s only environmental wind tunnel.

Take the opportunity to get industry-ready with our award-winning Professional Training placements.

You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng. The latter is a direct route to a masters qualification, known as an integrated masters.

What you will study
The course encompasses topics such as fluid-dynamics, stress analysis and numerical methods. In addition, you’ll receive training on the latest industry-standard design and solid modelling software, automated manufacturing techniques and sensors, actuators and advanced control systems, which drive modern mechanical engineering products.

For your final year project, you may choose to make the most of Surrey’s partnership with the National Physical Laboratory. You could also explore the cross-disciplinary aspect of mechanical engineering, applying your skills in areas ranging from prosthetics to satellites.
