Mechanical Engineering touches virtually every aspect of modern life. It’s at the forefront of developing new technologies for many industries including transport, healthcare, construction, and robotics. 

 

Our teaching and course content are informed by our research in diverse areas, including aerodynamics, fluid systems, transportation, manufacturing and sustainable development. This research is aided by our Mechanical Engineering Laboratory designed for the study of thermofluids, solid mechanics and dynamics. 

 

You will learn fundamental problem-solving skills by studying modules such as General Engineering Tools and Principles and Mechanical Design and Manufacturing. With modules such as Design and Project Management, Advanced Mechanical Materials and Professional Practice and Engineering Business Environment, you'll be equipped with the professional and transferable skills you need to work in industry.  

 

You can study Mechanical Engineering either as a three-year BEng (Hons) programme or as a four-year integrated master’s. At the end of year three, you have the option of graduating with a BEng or continuing your studies for a further year for a MEng, subject to meeting the progression requirements.
