MSc Engineering (Mechanical) (Far STEM)

The far STEM route is for chemistry, biotechnology, biochemistry, food science, or similar first degrees where statistical analysis was a dominant feature of their analytical studies. You will spend four semesters studying towards a General Engineering Transition Masters, studying appropriate Level 5 modules in the first semester then joining the Near STEM cohort, again with the opportunity to specialize in the above options at L6 or L7.7.

This program has been developed to meet the growing need for postgraduate skills within the engineering industry, and the demand for professional development for graduate engineers. The program integrates mechanical engineering subjects with key generic skills in management and research methods. This approach will help to develop your critical thinking skills as a future engineering manager, or technical specialist enabling you to effectively analyze technical and management issues. The University of Hertfordshire has a worldwide reputation for excellence in applied mechanical engineering. This international reputation will give you the opportunity to study with graduates from universities worldwide. You will benefit from the expertise of guest speakers from the industry that were relevant and appropriate.
