M.SC ADVANCED MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DESIGN

From the production of silicone chips to the development electric vehicles and jet aircraft, mechanical engineers connect us to a wide range of everyday activities.   If you want to enhance your existing engineering qualifications, move into research, or use advanced engineering techniques, this highly practical and challenging postgraduate course will guide you.

Delivered through a modular programme, you'll blend theory with the latest methodology and practice. You'll review the design, development, commission and maintenance of engineering systems. You'll learn about the social, legal and environmental issues associated with senior engineering roles. 

This course is relevant for graduates with a relevant engineering degree, or relevant professional experience, who want to develop their skills as mechanical engineers. Throughout the course, there is a strong management theme, so you understand the nuances of holding a senior engineering role.

The course provides you with the necessary knowledge and skills to become a Chartered Engineer. This programme is designed to meet the requirement of the Engineering Councils Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP).

You will:

  • Develop advanced engineering knowledge for a career in research in industry or academia
  • Develop rapid prototyping skills using our MakerSpace facility
  • Learn about the application of computational methods and packages in mechanical engineering analysis design and manufacture to solve complex engineering problems
  • Gain specialist knowledge in mechatronics, robotics & automation, artificial intelligence and energy utilisation
