The BEng Mechanical Engineering will give you an excellent grounding in the knowledge and experience of the most fundamental of all engineering disciplines, preparing you for a variety of careers in engineering, technology, business and management.
We use a variety of teaching styles that reflect the diversity of topics covered in modern mechanical engineering, and you will develop the range of skills and expertise that a professional engineer must possess.
In addition to core (compulsory) units, the final year provides you with the opportunity of choosing specialist units. Moreover, the final year also features an individual project - you will undertake a major investigative project by yourself, which will require scientific experiments and investigations.
