Mechanical Engineering

With this four-year integrated masters course, you’ll go on a journey from fundamental engineering principles all the way through to live, practical projects that are informed by our active research and industrial partnerships. This means that by the time you graduate, you’ll already have experience of the latest engineering challenges faced by industry and society.

On our MEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering degree, you’ll start off by exploring the fundamental theories of engineering science and applied mathematics, as well as learning practical and project skills. Then, through the study of solid mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, you’ll begin to develop your scientific and analytical skills. Throughout your studies at Manchester Met, you’ll have the chance to get involved with projects rooted in our research with potential employers and research teams – giving you valuable experience for your career development.

As you progress, you’ll take on multi-disciplinary project work, adopting one of several specialist roles – just like you would in the workplace. So, by the time you tackle your final-year group engineering project, you’ll be well-equipped to design, develop, evaluate and present a specialist engineering solution to a significant, current problem.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• This degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council. At present, this degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council up to and including September 2023 intake. As per accreditation guidelines for existing courses, we are currently in the process of renewing our continued accreditation of this programme.

• We’re ranked 6th in the UK for impact of research (REF 2021).

• The five-year placement route offers the opportunity to spend your third year working on a placement with a relevant employer – gaining the skills and experience that can boost your career prospects.

• This course shares a common first and second year with our BEng degree in mechanical engineering and a common first year with our MEng and BEng degrees in electrical and electronic engineering and BEng biomedical engineering, so you may be able to transfer between courses.

• Tackle real challenges from the world of engineering. Every year, we invite businesses and academic colleagues to set live projects that challenge our students to devise innovative solutions to current problems. You’ll get feedback and advice directly from industry experts – giving you the chance to find out exactly what it takes to impress a potential future employer.

• Showcase your engineering and design skills in extra-curricular group projects like the Formula Student racing car competition or the Engineering For People Design Challenge.

• We are investing £115m to transform the way we teach and you learn in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Our new Dalton building will enhance collaboration between students, staff and industry and provide new and improved teaching spaces, including a dedicated engineering learning studio and a purpose-built light engineering workshop

• Get fully trained on how to use our workshops, laboratories and specialist engineering software.
