UCAS Code: H300

MEng Mechanical Engineering

This is the most flexible of our MEng degrees and graduates from this course go on to work in all areas of mechanical engineering. The syllabus covers fundamental engineering principles, while also giving you the freedom to follow individual interests in the third and fourth years.

There is a strong focus on engineering design and modelling throughout the course, giving you plenty of opportunities to apply the theoretical knowledge you gain to practical engineering problems. You’ll also be introduced to the role of business and management in engineering.

What You'll Study

The first five semesters cover the core subjects required to be a successful mechanical engineer, including mathematics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and the mechanical behaviour of materials.

The aim of the final three semesters is to allow you to develop your own interests and prepare you for your career. You’ll complete a group design project in your third year, as well as an extended individual project in your final year. You can also choose from a wide selection of engineering modules to complement these.
