Course summary

Learn how engineering, manufacture and management work together to find product solutions in industry. Explore the creation process from design to end product.

Our course develops your understanding of the sciences and disciplines relating to manufacturing. You’ll study engineering, manufacturing and management to understand their role in production processes.

We draw on our links with industry to build your knowledge of the integrated systems, processes and technologies used in advanced manufacturing. Learning about the latest engineering developments will inspire you to explore low-carbon and sustainable ways to produce high-quality products.

You’ll have the opportunity to translate ideas into practice through project work. In your final year, you'll work on a semester-long, full-time individual project that encourages you to take imaginative approaches to solve complex engineering problems. You could explore new business or engineering technologies in areas such as aerospace, automotive, sports equipment, medical devices, or data management.

We are invested in helping you get the most out of your learning experience. You’ll learn from academics with expertise in mechanical engineering and established links with industry. They have knowledge in design, manufacture, biomechanics, materials, automotive and aerospace. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience.

Qualification requirements

UCAS Tariff - Not accepted

A level - A*A*A

Typical offer: A*A*A in three A levels including A* in Mathematics and A in Physics Contextual offer: AAA or A*AB in three A levels including A in Mathematics and A in Physics. Alternative offer: A*AA or A*A*B in three A levels including A* in Mathematics and A in Physics plus additional study - please see our website for further details.

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016) - D*DD

D*DD in the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (RQF) plus grade A* in A level Mathematics. You must be studying A level Mathematics alongside your BTEC qualification. We are able to consider BTEC qualifications in Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering and prefer you to study as many units as possible in Physical Science. We may also be able to consider BTEC qualifications in Applied Science, Construction and the Built Environment, and Building Services. Please contact us to discuss the suitability of your optional units before making an application.

Access to HE Diploma - D: 42 credits

A pass in the Access to HE Diploma (in Science or Engineering) with at least 42 credits achieved at Distinction and 3 at Merit. This must include 12 credits from Mathematics units (including Calculus) achieved at Distinction and 12 credits from Physics units achieved at Distinction. Our Mechanical Engineering courses are academically challenging and require solid foundations of knowledge in Mathematics and Physics. We are able to consider Access to HE Diplomas in Science or Engineering, and we are looking for you to be studying a suitable level of Mathematics and Physics to be able to succeed in our courses. You will need to have studied Mathematics graded units worth at least 12 credits (including Calculus) and Physics graded units worth at least 12 credits.

Scottish Advanced Higher - AA

AA in two Advanced Highers including Mathematics and Physics. We make offers based on Advanced Highers. You will typically be expected to have completed five Scottish Highers and your grades in these will be considered as part of your application. We prefer applicants who have achieved AAAAA in their Highers.

International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme - 36 points

36 points overall and 7, 7, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Physics and 7 in either HL Mathematics. Mathematics is required at Higher Level. In exceptional circumstances we may be able to consider you if you are studying Standard Level Physics. Our typical offer in this instance would be 36 points overall with 7, 6, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including 7 in either HL Mathematics plus 7 in Standard Level Physics. International Baccalaureate Diploma - Contextual Offer 36 points overall and 6, 6, 6 or 7, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Physics and 6 in either HL Mathematics.

OCR Cambridge Technical Extended Diploma - D*D*D*

D*D*D* in the Cambridge Technical Level 3 Extended Diploma plus grade A* in A level Mathematics. You must be studying A level Mathematics alongside your Cambridge Technical qualification. We are able to consider Cambridge Technical qualifications in Engineering, and prefer you to study as many units as possible in Physical Science. Due to the mathematical content of the course, it is essential to have an A level in Mathematics alongside your Cambridge Technical qualification.

AQA Level 3 Technical Level (1080 glh) - Not accepted

GCSE English Language or Literature grade 4 or C (or equivalent from English language category C)

GCSE grades are an important part of selection for this course and we typically expect students to have a good number of GCSEs at grade 7-9 or A-A*. Your GCSE grades in Mathematics and Physics are particularly important and we typically expect grade 8-9 in at least one of these subjects.

Your GCSE grades will be carefully considered as part of our contextual admissions process and depending on your circumstances, we may be able to consider you with GCSE grades of mostly 6 or B.
