Engineering (Mechanical Manufacture)

We aim to ensure that the MSc Engineering (Mechanical Manufacturing) comprises fit-for-purpose teaching and research experience to provide a solid background for a career in the engineering and manufacturing industry sector.

The Government is focusing heavily on boosting the UK manufacturing industry; failure to meet demands for engineering skills could cost the UK £27bn a year. 58% of all new jobs will be STEM related, and the number of those studying for degrees in science, engineering and technology must increase by over 40% on current levels if demands are to be met. Of all STEM skills, those in mechanical and manufacturing engineering are becoming increasingly highly valued.[1]

Many of our graduates are now in jobs at top international companies such as Rolls-Royce, Siemens, Alstom, and Airbus.

The taught element of the programme includes design, and stress and fluid dynamics analysis, using state of the art commercial software, such as ANSYS.

Develop your skills in particular aspects through your choice of MSc research project, which would be aligned with one of the University Research Centres.
