Course summary

  • Become a professional mechanical engineer from day one.

  • Apply your skills by completing industry-linked projects and placements.

  • Develop the techniques to design, analyse, simulate and test mechanical systems.

  • Create engineering solutions for the optimal performance of mechanical systems.

  • Enhance your versatility with multidisciplinary insights into mechanical engineering.

This course prepares you for diverse engineering roles – with a practice-based approach to mechanical science, design, systems, engineering practice, materials, and manufacture. You’ll emerge as a highly-skilled graduate – ready to provide optimal and sustainable solutions to future problems across the industry.

The MEng degree will consolidate your knowledge and research skills in specialist areas of mechanical engineering, such as solid and fluid dynamics and thermodynamics; you will also broaden your knowledge in engineering systems and emerging technology, whilst enhancing your design, project management and employability skills with a dedicated industrial design project (in collaboration with local employers). Moreover, you will have the opportunity to tailor your curriculum, knowledge and expertise towards other related engineering areas, through a selection of elective modules in topics such as advanced computational methods, artificial intelligence, process improvement, robotics and autonomous systems.
