Engineering (Mechanical Manufacture) (Taught)

We aim to ensure that the MSc Engineering (Mechanical Manufacturing) comprises fit-for-purpose teaching and research experience to provide a solid background for a career in the engineering and manufacturing industry sector.

The Government is focusing heavily on boosting the UK manufacturing industry; failure to meet demands for engineering skills could cost the UK £27bn a year. 58% of all new jobs will be STEM related, and the number of those studying for degrees in science, engineering and technology must increase by over 40% on current levels if demands are to be met. Of all STEM skills, those in mechanical and manufacturing engineering are becoming increasingly highly valued.[1]

• Many of our graduates are now in jobs at top international companies such as Rolls-Royce, Siemens, Alstom, and Airbus.

• The taught element of the programme includes design, and stress and fluid dynamics analysis, using state of the art commercial software, such as ANSYS.

• Develop your skills in particular aspects through your choice of MSc research project, which would be aligned with one of the University Research Centres.
