Mechanical Engineering MEng (Hons)

Are you interested in using scientific principles to solve problems and develop better ways to make things work? Mechanical engineering is essential for the automotive, aeronautical, robotics, construction, software, oil/ gas, manufacturing, renewable energy and building services sectors. There are currently shortages of mechanical engineers and, by taking this course, you’ll have plenty of career options.

The first year of the course provides a foundational grounding in engineering. You’ll then study more advanced principles of mechanics, manufacturing technology, energy systems and engineering design, potentially working on projects with companies such as Nissan, BAE Systems and Airbus. We encourage you to spend a full year in industry between your second and fourth years. Your final year is your integrated masters year that provides you with in-depth knowledge you need to fulfil the academic requirement to be a Chartered Engineer, which is associated with higher salaries.
