Mechanical Engineering is the most versatile of the engineering disciplines and there exists a high and growing demand from industry for graduate Mechanical Engineers.
Our accredited degree will place you at the heart of modern industry, providing career opportunities in sectors such as:
You’ll combine mechanics, materials science, thermofluids and computational methods to design, analyse and implement complex systems which are economic, reliable, efficient and sustainable.
Throughout the degree you’ll put theory into practice through a range of individual and group projects. For instance, year 1 will see you take part in three projects using your skills to design, build and test real mechanical devices.
You will have the opportunity to participate in the Formula Student competition, working with other students to design and build a single-seater racing car.
On graduation you will be industry ready, with a grounding in engineering science and hands-on working knowledge of:
We also offer a 5-year version of the MEng which includes a ‘sandwich’ placement year in industry. The placement year is an excellent way to develop your professional experience, build industry contacts, and gain insight into the day-to-day work of a professional engineer.
You may also be interested in our BEng Mechanical Engineering programmes. We offer a 3-year version of the BEng and a 4-year version with sandwich year.
These courses are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and can lead to Chartered Engineer (CEng) accreditation.
This course is recognised by ENAEE (European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education).
The University is committed to helping students develop and enhance employability and this is an integral part of many programmes. Specialist support is available throughout the course from Career and Employability Services including help to find part-time work while studying, placements, vacation work and graduate vacancies. Students are encouraged to access this support at an early stage and to use the extensive resources on the Careers website.
Discussing options with specialist advisers helps to clarify plans through exploring options and refining skills of job-hunting. In most of our programmes there is direct input by Career Development Advisers into the curriculum or through specially arranged workshops.
97% of our 2017 graduates in Mechanical and Automotive Engineering found employment or went on to further study within six months of graduating.*
