About this programme
This four-year course is well-balanced, covering a wide range of topics in engineering science and engineering practice. The course is designed to educate the next generation of mechanical engineers to have a positive impact on our society across the 21st century.Our curriculum embeds a diverse set of professional engineering and management skills spanning four core areas:design and manufacturedynamics and controlmaterialsenergy and fluid flow.All Mechanical Engineering students share a common curriculum in the first two years, covering the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering. Teaching is delivered via lectures, seminars, laboratories, design classes and short projects in modelling and manufacturing.You will spend your third year applying the knowledge gained in the first two years of study in an industrial environment. There is direct entry onto this course but you can transfer from our other mechanical engineering courses if you reach a high academic standard and are successful at an interview with industry. Places are limited and highly competitive.In your final year, you will apply the principles you have learnt to real, complex engineering applications. A major element of this is the open-ended group project, requiring collaboration, creative thinking and a significant individual contribution.This course is currently undergoing its scheduled five-year re-accreditation process with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). It has previously been accredited by IMechE. The outcome of the current review is expected by 2027.
