Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineers on this degree gain versatile technical training. Core principles are applied to real problems in design, analysis and manufacturing, and transferable abilities are built throughout the course. The curriculum is broad, so students develop a wide base before they specialise. Options to study abroad or to complete an industrial placement can be added to the course, giving students international or workplace experience. Teaching combines lectures, laboratory work and team-based design projects that mirror professional practice. Graduates pursue careers in engineering design, aerospace, energy and manufacturing, or move into further research. Students also learn to communicate design decisions clearly and work effectively within multidisciplinary teams, skills that are valued across the engineering profession. The degree prepares students to move between technical and commercial settings.
