Mechanical Engineering (GCU Pathways)

THIS PROGRAMME IS AVAILABLE TO SCOTTISH-DOMICILED APPLICANTS ONLY
THERE IS NO ADVANCED ENTRY TO THIS PROGRAMME

Gain an HND at college and progress directly to Year 3. Study mechanics, virtual engineering and product testing. Progress to a career in mechanical engineering working with equipment, creating solutions and solving problems.

GCU Pathways

GCU Pathways students enrol at Glasgow Caledonian University on the BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering. Over the first two years, you'll study an HND in Mechanical Engineering at the City of Glasgow College in preparation for transfer to the BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering course in Year 3.

If you enjoy being hands on with technology and creating solutions to complex problems, you should consider mechanical engineering. Learn to design and manufacture mechanical products to degree level and excel in this field.

Engineers are involved in a number of design and development activities, and this course make you a well-rounded engineer able to exercise leadership, initiative, personal responsibility and decision-making in complex and unpredictable situations. This course offers the option to specialise in Systems or Design.

This course combines our previous courses BEng/MEng Mechanical Systems Engineering and BEng/MEng Computer-Aided Mechanical Engineering to bring you the knowledge, skills and experiences needed to excel as a graduate in the mechanical engineering field.

We are seeking accreditation for this new course from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).

Your career

Graduates of the previous courses have found success in a variety of local, national and international industries and consultancies, such as mechanical, aerospace, electronics, offshore, local authority, manufacturing and building services.
