Course summary
Do you want to push the boundaries of engineering to solve complex problems to improve the sustainability and efficiency of the world we live in? This course will give you opportunity to combine your initiative, numeracy skills and detailed subject knowledge to make modern industry work better for us all.
Mechanical engineering plays a vital role in many industries including aerospace, manufacturing, medicine, renewable energy and Formula 1. In fact, there is little in our daily lives that isn't touched by mechanical engineering innovations, from the cars we drive to the way our food is processed.
As well as taught sessions, you'll have access excellent manufacturing research facilities, including robotics and 3D printing techniques. You will also apply your knowledge in individual and group project settings.
Mechanical and manufacturing engineering share a common programme for the first two years, where you will learn the fundamentals of engineering science and design. In the third year you will specialise in mechanical engineering options.
Mechanical engineering is available as a BEng or a MEng course. If you choose to study the BEng option you may be able to transfer to the MEng course at the end of the second year if your performance meets the criteria.
This is a three year course and you will have the opportunity to spend year two studying abroad.
