About this course

Course Overview

Spent your life taking things apart to see how they work? This could be the course for you. Our Mechanical Engineering MEng teaches you how to design objects and systems with motion.

Mechanical engineers use their knowledge of engineering principles to design objects with motion. The fundamental engineering principles include mechanics, materials, thermo-fluids and computer-aided design.

Our MEng degree uses our experience of providing a rounded education to graduates. This ensures you’re prepared to work in a range of industrial sectors.

You’ll also develop skills in user needs and business plan development. There’s an optional placement route to spend a year in industry between Year 2 and Year 3.

This course is informed by our Advanced Digital Manufacturing Technology (ADMT) research centre and the Jost Institute of Tribotechnology.
