Mechanical Engineering MEng (Hons)

So much of our everyday life is influenced by engineered products. Study your Mechanical Engineering MEng (Hons) degree at ARU and learn to design, develop, operate and manufacture products and parts in our specialist lab whether it is in the manufacturing, the design, or even the materials. Our four-year MEng Mechanical Engineering degree course has been newly reimagined, focusing on project-based learning, allowing you to take your in-class theory and apply it in a hands-on project module that will run throughout the year.

Engineering is all about taking a product or system and looking at how it can be improved, whether it is in the manufacturing, the design, or even the materials.

On our four-year Mechanical Engineering course, you'll learn through a wide range of lab sessions. We'll explore manufacturing, 3D printing, thermodynamics, dynamics, and structural analysis so you can analyze, calculate, model, and experience your proposed concepts. As a part of your project-based learning, you will work as part of a team, with students from the different areas of mechanical engineering. This will allow you to develop skills that are invaluable to future employers, including analytical and creative problem-solving skills. You’ll also benefit from dedicated support from our experienced staff, who are experienced, industry professionals and expert researchers.

So what is the difference between a BEng and an MEng course?

A BEng course will enable you to apply for an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status at the end of your course. To apply for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status you will also need to complete a Masters's degree.

A four-year MEng course is a three-year undergraduate degree with a one-year master's degree in one course. On completing an MEng course you are able to apply directly for CEng status.
